A member asked:
My mother is experiencing jaw swelling with pain. dentist says he sees nothing. what else could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Jaw Swelling: Where exactly is the swelling? Are there any associated teeth in the area? Does she wear dentures? A little more info would help with a possible diagnosis. Your best bet is to get a second opinion from another local dentist or an oral surgeon.
