Slight Pain In Right Side Of Mouth While Chewing, Hard Lump On Inner Jaw. Using Dentures. Advise?
Hello. I noticed last night it slightly hurt on the right side of my mouth to chew a steak. I have upper dentures and my bottom teeth are not in great shape. I felt around in my mouth and below a broken tooth I felt a hard lump on my inner jaw. Could it just be a product of my broken tooth or do I have more to worry about?

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The swelling that you have noticed could be related to the infection in the area or a broken tooth. The pain in chewing could be related to a muscle spasm. This needs a direct examination by a dentist for proper diagnosis.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
