I have a lump on my jaw about 3/4 of an inch away from my teeth where my jaw starts curving upward.  Its hard, but will wiggle side to side.  It doesnt hurt at all even when I put pressure on it.  Should I go to my dentist?  My next cleaning isnt until May.
Hi dear, The symptoms you mention in query like hard lump, movable and do not having pain are pointing towards a condition known as lipoma . A lipoma is a growth of fat cells in a thin, fibrous capsule usually found just below the skin. It doesn't seems to be due to dental infection. Usually lipoma is harmless. It becomes a course of concern if it increases in size, cause pain or get infected. I would suggest you to consult dermatologist for proper diagnosis and rule out cause like dental infection. Doctor may recommend its surgical removal for aesthetic purpose. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
