What is hard round lump in jaw ?

Hi All
New to hear !
Had trouble with my mouth since last august when dentist scrapped teeth aggressively.
I have a fair sized hard lump at the left side of my mouth I have no pain. I also have some discharge in between
two teeth, sometimes slimy and a salty taste in my mouth now and then.
I have been referred to oral surgery in the hospital go on the 15th thank goodness.
Any ideas ?
Thanks

Hi there,
A clinical examination is necessary for appropriate diagnosis and treatment of your condition. Based on your symptoms it could possibly be due to any infection, cysts, malformations etc. Sometimes they represent tooth related disease, or a dead tooth. In few cases they are cysts or tumors. But without a detailed evaluation by an oral surgeon or other head and neck specialist, including x-rays or CT scans the cause may not be detected. Treatment will depend on the underlying cause. I hope it helps.
Best wishes and kind regards!
