FAQ: Abcess

Oral Cancer Screening Laser
Oral Surgery Resources

Question:
I have been to 7 doctors. 3 dentists. I have had jaw pain for 1 year. Mostly in the morning and at night. Finally now I have had this bump on the lower part of the gum line that drains pus 4 or 5 times a day. It does not hurt bad and there is no pain at all in the tooth.

My last visit to an oral surgeon result was he said abcess and tooth should be pulled. Then he would work on jaw pain. I think it is all related and may be oral cancer but no one thinks that. No xray shows anything but a little darkness at the bottom of my jawbone. Do you have any ideas?

I know draining pus daily can not be right. I have given up on what to do. Each person says something different.

Answer:
I wish I could help you, but I cannot even begin to speculate as to what your problem may be. I would advise you to get a breast cancer examination and a full physical, including blood work up. Get a second opinion from another oral surgeon.

The jaw pain may be due to osteomyelitis, or even to muscular compression. See if you can find a dental school or teaching hospital for your problem. Something is causing your problem, you just have to find out what it is. A good professional will find the reason!
