I have a lump in my left cheek that has been steadily growing over the past year or so. it is hard to the touch and can only be felt with the jaw in open position.  On top of that, I now can feel what seems to be a more \"free-floating\" lump in the same region as well. Any idea what that can be? I did have my wisdom teeth taken out about 10 years ago and I do grind my teeth (if that is relevant information). Thanks.
Hello, Thanks for writing in. As you have got your wisdom tooth removed, check whether any root piece remaining within the socket causing inflammation. Get oral examination done to find out any decayed tooth remaining in your oral cavity. If so, get root canal treatment or restoration done depending on severity of lesion. Get pus Chat Doctor. Take antibiotics complete course. Frequent warm saline gargle may help. Use Listerine mouth rinses to gargle. Take care.
