Jaw lump

Hi

going out of my mind… was at dentist today as a lump appeared on my jaw bone line I thought maybe an abcess although gums etc are fine just this lump lower down..

he tried to feel it but couldn’t really get a good handle on it, 

he did xray said all ok and though could maybe be a muscle knot? Although xray I don’t think visualised the lower bone where it is

doesn’t feel like that it’s hard and right next to or maybe on the jawline bone, sore to touch, seems to radiate to molar if I touch it.. 

does this sound sinister? 

  • I'm sorry to hear about this lump on your jawbone line Debs1985, and for the stress and worry it is causing.

    It's good you got it looked at by your dentist, and encouraging to hear the results of the x-ray showed it was o.k as well, but as it's still playing on your mind maybe you could see your GP, or another dentist, to get a second opinion. They will be able to examine you once more and hopefully put your mind at ease.

    Our members know how scary it can be when unexplained lumps appear, so you are not alone Debs1985, and hopefully you will receive some support and advice from our community soon.

    In the meantime, we're sending you all our support Debs1985 and will have our fingers crossed everything will be o.k.

    Kind regards,
