<human>: Lower teeth: on sept. 3, I had 7 extractions, they had to sand down/remove bone all the way across & then placed 6 implants, attached healing plate (fake teeth)...swelling was gone as of last weekend but now I have a large lump/swollen area on left jawline (painful to touch)...should I be concerned enough to call after hours (its Saturday but I do have appt this coming tues) just worried about the implants
<bot>: Hi, Thanks for asking the query, There could be presence of any broken tooth piece or infection an x-ray of the region is required. Take a course of antibiotics and analgesics under the prescription of your Dentist. Take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses. Based upon the x-ray the type of treatment will be decided. Avoid smoking and alcohol consumption as this may worsen the condition. Hope you find this as helpful, Regards.
