Whats this lump?


Question:
I had dental work done 3 days ago on Monday for two fillings on the top right side of my mouth, today I have found a lump that has appeared on my lower jaw about 1 finger width from the joint. Its not to large about the size of larger jelly bean and somewhat hard, its mildly sore but not to bad. Is this from the work I had done? Is it some sort of infection?

Answers:
It could just be swelling from the work you had done or just irritated gums. Watch it closely for the next few days. If it gets bigger or stays the same then see your doctor immediately.
I WAS WONDERING THAT TOO. AHUUUUUUUUK!!!!!
well is the lump on the gum or on the face?well assuming that the lump you mentioned is on the lower jaw(on the gums).u can be assured that it is not from the work donr three days ago,becoz the work has been done on the top jaw.

so it is likely to be an abcess a chronicone may be.better diagnosis can be made by a dentist
