Specializes in Pain Management

See an OFP: Lump under the jaw can have various causes. The most common would be a lymph node, If this lump persists for more than two weeks, a clinical examination by an orofacial pain specialist and laboratory tests, as necessary to obtain a definitive diagnosis. Proper diagnosis is a key to successful treatment.
