A member asked:

Please tell me if there are any non-surgical options for dealing with benign jaw bone tumors?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: When a jaw bone tumor is defined it is usually a lytic lesion. One does not have to resect or curette the lesion to bring it under control. Cryosurgery has been very effective. If left alone the potential of biting hard and fracturing the jaw bone is possible.
