I have a little swelling on my right side of my face just below the ear behind jaw bone. I was told by my doctor it was either scar tissue or a sis.I asked her can it be biopsy she said its much to small its right under the skin. It doesn t hurt,had it for six months. I recently went to the dentists and was told I have gengivitis and seven cavities and that my wisdom tooth needs to be pulled out which is on same side as the swelling could this have anything to do with my problem?
Hello, Thanks for posting your query. The swelling may be due to impacted wisdom teeth/deep dental caries at the effected area. An x-ray will help to evaluate The cause of swelling. The pus has to be Chat Doctor. Impacted teeth have to be removed as soon as possible. Always maintain good oral hygiene. Get your teeth cleaned. Take antibiotics to relieve infection as per dentists prescription. Hope this helps.
