Why Is My Cheek Swollen?

My right cheek has been swollen for what has been close to a year. You can only tell if you look for it. Saw a dentist said no oral cancer. Its right near my jaw. No pain, feels slightly tender though. No teeth problems either. Blood tests 2 months ago came back normal. Any ideas?
