A member asked:

This morning i woke up with a sensation of numbness to my left jaw.i do feel a bump if i touch my jaw.on the mirror i can see the area swollen.why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Get to a dentist!!: I would have a radiograph taken of the area in question, a panoramic radiograph would be helpful to make sure there isnt any gross pathology or a wisdom tooth problem, a periapical radiograph can zero in on a particular tooth...Your dentist will know which one or if both is necessary, do not delay go in!
