A member asked:
Hard, painful lump underneath jaw line. what could this be?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Lump under jaw: Lumps like these warrant a complete evaluation by an oral surgeon or other head and neck specialist, including xrays or ct scans. Sometimes they represent tooth related disease, or a dead tooth. Sometimes they are cysts or tumors. But without more information, it's hard to say.

See dentist : Swollen lymph node is a sign of infection. Dental infection due to tooth abscess, gum abscess or combination of both. It is a treatable condition. See your dentist for evaluation, x-rays and treatment. Call your dentist today.
