Common Questions and Answers about Lump behind molar

lump

Avatar n tn The hole has been closing but the lump has not gone, and every now and then the lump swells up slightly again and can be a little bit painful. Any advice on what it could be? Has the dentist missed something a bit more serious? I have managed to overcome health anxiety but worried this may bring it on again!
Avatar m tn I have a lump thing growing, right where the tongue passes behind the back molar. Just curious? I am hoping it is from allergies...
Avatar n tn ve had a few complications including (earlier on) dry socket and (more recently) an infection just behind my 12 y/o molar. Around my 12 y/o molar on one side, there is continual swelling and pus when pressure is applied, as well as a strange, swollen flap that extends over my 12 y/o molar. I've gone through a round of antibiotics already and it hasn't affected it very much. Does anyone here happen to know what could be causing this?
Avatar n tn The only time I can get it to slow down or stop for a day or so is to take benadryl(usually 25mg). Also I have a big sore spot about a half an inch behind the molar that was done now the pain seems to be up inside the gum and near my ear now too. Also, my cheek seems numb on the outside of where the tooth is and I have trouble with my speech now.. As of last Friday I have lost like 85% of my taste and smell ability also.

Avatar f tn i m having a lump behind my right ear since 14 months.in the starting it never hurts,but recently its getting bigger and painful as well.
1288586 tn?1271904161 but now it has swollen up and hurts a lot on and around the lump and i am having pain in my ear canal also. the lump is a little bigger then a pea. i can't see it, since it's along the bone behind my ear, so my fiance had a look at it and says it's red and looks infected. i also have a lump on the left side of my pelvis, which is also red and sore and my fiance says its starting to go purple.
Avatar f tn I have a small lump at the back of my cheek along the jawline (about in-line with my back molar). It is actually inside my cheek and I can move it around a bit. It is just over 1cm in diameter and I have had it for a very long time; I probably noticed it when I was about 8 or so and I'm now 16. It is painless and very hard, and doesn't seem to have grown a noticable amount over the years.
Avatar n tn My dentistry issues have been average my entire life but when I was 16 or so I've had a root canal on an upper molar. Anyhow I admit I don't floss often at all, so when I do, I can smell the rotten/decayed food smell and it's horrible. Anyhow; of course I don't ever have that smell unless I floss, and I'm on 6-month cleaning appointments and everything was always fine until my last appointment!
Avatar f tn About 8 days ago she went to the doctor with strep-throat. Now today I noticed she has a lump behind her right ear, should I be concerned? I read it could just be her body fighting the infection. Should I get her to the doctor or should I just keep an eye on the lump for a few days? She is 8 years old.
Avatar m tn Well about 5 years ago maybe more at the age of 9 I found a lump behind my right ear it was movable and was absolutely painless I forgot about it and didn't tell anybody because I was so young.
Avatar n tn I have an old filling in my lower left molar that has broken off. Some of the filing is still there and the tooth does not bother me only sometimes with hot food. I have been taking idrophrom for it and it has helped the low pain, A few wks later I noticed my jaw line on the left side is swollen and has a small lump. I am guessing this is an abcess developing? I know I need to see a dentist but I do not have dental insurance. I do though have medical and can go see the doctor for an antibotic.
1076716 tn?1256917619 t find any other indications of a molar pregnancy through the tissues. They are treating it as a partial molar preg. But I am baffled, there was a baby. It had a heart rate of 167. SO how is this a molar pregnancy. Now I am scared. They also said I have to check hcg levels for the next 6 months!!! I can't get pregnant for at least that! I am 39 and this is freaking me out!
Avatar m tn I recently had a broken molar repaired with filling material as opposed to a cap. Two injections were administered for the Anaesthetic. I have had a fair amount of dental work in the past but I noticed that the pain after was far greater than before. I took ibruprofen for a full 7 days after. The pain seemed to subside. A few weeks later and now I have a large sore lump at the site of the injections. I am concerned as to what it could be.
Avatar m tn Hi, I am 14 years old and i have a hard lump directly behind my left ear on the bone. The lump is not too big but big enough that i have had people notice it. It is somewhat painful to the touch. Can you help me?
Avatar f tn I developed a small hard lump behind my left ear almost 12 years ago. At the time we went to the doctors and they told me it was just a cyst and to come back if it got larger and or painful. Fast forward to now and the lump is now quarter size and is so large it makes my glasses crooked on my face.
Avatar m tn Hey everyone, I am hoping you can help me figure out what this lump is behind my ear is. Not literally on my ear, but when you feel behind your ear, the bony part. about an inch or 1.5 inches away from my ear there is a painless lump (circular) about the size of a blueberry. It is difficult to tell if it is hard or squishy so I can't really say. All I can say is that it has been there for about a month maybe more. Has not grown is size that ive noticed.
202827 tn?1238010689 I have a hard, bony, round, white colored swelling on my right upper gum above the molar on the inner side. It has been there for almost two years now. I showed it to a dentist as I am a heavy smoker and was worried about cancer but he just disregarded it. That was a year ago. On some days it feels less swollen when I rub my tongue over it, but of late I am feeling a pressure sensation all the way up my right nostril and sometimes above my right eye. What could this possibly be?
Avatar n tn You have 3 molars usually and the first molar is probably the one you lost. The first molar comes out at age 6, the second molar comes out at age 12 and the last one comes out at age 18-25.
Avatar f tn My son recently noticed a hard lump behind his left ear. He has also complained of back pain. Any possible suggestions?
4378879 tn?1353691941 I find that if you put the pill behind the last molar while keeping the head tipped up a little and then massaging the throat til they swallow, they can't reposition the pill and spit it out. I don't have 100% success rate but but it's still way better than I had before. Good luck!
Avatar m tn So I've had a missing molar (lower Right 7) since 2007. The opposing tooth's lowered a bit since accd. to the x-ray I just took. My question regards whether or not an implant would be worth the cost. How much lower will the tooth fall/are there any major unanticipated problems besides a potential gap between 6&7? Thanks!
