Hello, i got my wisdom teeth and i'm wondering, i have a lump in my cheek on my jaw line that tender to the touch? what is this? is it infected?

Possibilities: If your bump is along the bottom line of your lower jaw near the middle below your eye it could be a blood vessel that has gotten inflamed. There is also a chance for infection as well so a follow up visit is the best medicine to allay your fears. I wish you speedy healing.

A few things: It may be an infection. Please see the dentist that remove the tooth. It could also be an enlarged lymph node or a hematoma. A hematoma is a blood collection pocket that resolve on its own. Good luck.

Jaw Pain: You don't mention how long it's been since your wisdom teeth were extracted. If it's been a few weeks, you may have developed a postoperative infection called a subperiosteal abscess, which is not that uncommon. You should return to see your oral surgeon for an evaluation. You may require treatment with antibiotics, and possibly a procedure to drain the infection. Good luck!
