Bone in left side of mandible feels like it is poking me.
by bballdunker, Sep 16, 2009 06:28PM
I had a jaw surgery a few years ago, and I recently noticed that on the left anterior mandible, it feels like the bone is notched. When I press on this area with my finger, it feels sharp and makes a very slight, sharp pain. I really don't notice it unless I press on the area. Also, I think some of the chin bone was reshaped during the surgery. Do I need to have the bone shaved down, or something?
