Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

Cheek swelling can be a result of varios reasons, it can be due to the underlying dental issue causing inflammation in mouth, growth such as tumors, cysts, trauma to the face, allergic reactions and infections, inflammation of the lymph node and parotid gland known as parotitis.
If a person is exposed to a particular allergen then the cheek may swell in response.

I would suggest you to get complete clinical examination by a Pedodontitis by taking necessary test and x-rays.
OPG radiograph may help in confirming the underlying cause.

Hope this answers your query,

Regards...

hello there ,

Lumps seen in the oral cavity can be of various types .

They can be infective lesions related to tooth like periodontal abscess or gingival abscess draining in the oral cavity.

lumps are also formed due to bening or malignant swellings of the jaws .

cysts of the jaws , related to tooth or bone may also lead to swelling .

parotitis or parorid gland swelling may also form lump behind the upper jaw line.

exact diagnosis can be made only after clinical examination and evaluation by taking radiographs.

i would suggest you to get and OPG radiograph done which will help in diagnosis and accordingly treatment can be planned .

consult an oral surgeon and get the examination done.

i hope this helps ,

take care.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
As you provided the detail,it seems that your sun is having eruption cyst.
Eruption cyst is nothing but only a swelling prior to a tooth eruption,which will subside itself after the eruption of the tooth.
Pain is normal in this case so nothing to get worried.
Take Care.

Hello,
I feel you should first consult a Pedodontist. This could be a eruption cyst or dentigerous cyst. An OPG x ray could reveal if there is an underlying pathology. Since your son does not have cavities the reason of swelling could be due to a cyst formation. Consult a Pedodontist at the earliest.
