Degenerative joint disease in right jaw.spontaneous fracture 10 years ago.what can i do about the continuous swelling that i have had for two + years?

See max/facial OS: Spontaneous fractures are rare. The best plan is to consult with a maxillo-facial surgeon and discuss findings, especially after extensive study of cbct imaging. Good luck!
