Get examined: Depends on location. Upper or lower jaw area. Since when? Does eating or chewing or drinking or talking hurt too? Constant or occasional pain? Any change in breath or amount of saliva? Dental cleanings up to date? Also need to think of TMJ or salivary stones. Best to get this looked at by your personal physician, as sometimes more concerning things, however rare, could appear. Yours, Zmd
