What Causes Jaw Pain In A Child?
My son is 13 and complained of jaw pain. After the second day of pain I got him in and the dentist found a black spot on his dental xray. In review the dentist found the spot was there a year ago but was small and overlooked. It has grown larger. It is on one side below the roots of his back teeth. He took folsmax for 8 months to treat avascular nerosis of the hip....a complication of breaking the neck of his femur in a 4 wheeler accident. They want to do a bone biopsy. What could this be? Should I ask for other tests? thank you.

Hi.... by the minimal information which you have given to me I am not able to guide you precisely as to what it could be. But I suggest that you take a bone scan after being advised by the dental surgeon.
I do not think that this is related to the treatment which he has undergone for avascular necrosis of the hip.
