Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

Small movable lump in the jaw line can be result of infection drained from an infected tooth.
I would suggest you to visit the Dentist and get the clinical evaluation done, take necessary x-rays .
Drainage of abscess by the Dentist is required.
Start with the course of antibiotics and analgesics.

Hope this helps out.

Regards.

Hello and Welcome to HCM,
Thanks for writing to us.
It's a gland you can feel, there's loads of them around your jaw area and they can swell up for different reasons. They usually go away on their own.
It's nothing to worry about but if in doubt go to your doctor.
visit your dentist and get it evaluated.
Hope this helps you.
Wishing you good health...
Regards.

Hello there ,

Thanks for writing your query,

Lumps seen in the oral cavity can be of various types .

They can be infective lesions related to tooth like periodontal abscess or gingival abscess draining in the oral cavity.

lumps are also formed due to bening or malignant swellings of the jaws .

cysts of the jaws , related to tooth or bone may also lead to swelling .

parotitis or parorid gland swelling may also form lump behind the upper jaw line.

exact diagnosis can be made only after clinical examination and evaluation by taking radiographs.

i would suggest you to get and OPG radiograph done which will help in diagnosis and accordingly treatment can be planned .

consult an oral surgeon and get the examination done.



i hope this helps ,

take care.

Hello,
It can be a pathology or can be a periapical abscess resulting from a decayed tooth. Please go for an X ray of the tooth in relation to the lump.
Take care!

Hi, the lump could be a periapical abscess resulting from a decayed tooth. Please go for an X ray of the tooth in relation to the lump. It could also be a soft tissue growth. Please go for a complete oral examination and treatment. Take care!
