Could an ingrown wisdom tooth be the cause for a painful lump under chin near jawline?
Patient: Okay so my wisdom teeth are growing in and one of them hurts a lot. I have to get them removed but in the mean time I got this lump under my chin near my jaw line. It's almost directly under my hurting wisdom tooth I was wondering if that normal or something else is wrong. It's pretty painful Doctor: Hi,Thanks for asking the query,    Yes this could be because of the impacted wisdom tooth.I would suggest you to consult to an Oral surgeon get a thorough checkup done take an OPG radiograph and plan for the removal of tooth.Take  a course of antibiotics and analgesics.At home take lukewarm saline rinses and antiseptic mouthwash gargles.Take care!
