A member asked:
My right mandibular condyle is more palaple than left no pain?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not to worry: Very normal finding in many patients. If no pain, no difficulty chewing, speaking, swallowing, then would not be concerned. If it gets bigger (even without other symptoms) then would recommend you see oral surgeon for evaluation. Hope this was helpful. Dr R

TMJ: The condyle is part of the temporomandibular joint. Asymmetry is of no significance without symptoms (joint noise, limited oral opening, pain). If you have any of those symptoms, see an oral surgeon for assessment.
