Could The Large Lump On My Jawbone Indicate A Symptom Of Jaw Cancer?
i have a large lump on my jawbone. I can only feel it inside of my mouth and it does not hurt. I just recently had a root canal done on other side and had complications and had to be on three different antibiotics to clear up infection. Three weeks ago i had the side where the lump is x rayd and nothing showed at that time. Can this be jaw cancer?
