Hi My family and friends have noticed when I do certain facial expressions that it looks like I have a ball in my mouth on both sides just above the jaw line. I have started noticing as well in photos. When I touch it its like there is nothing there just swalllen. I had a blood test and nothing came up in my lymph nodes. I am now starting to think its my teeth I had two very deep fillings done a few years ago maybe I have an infection although I have no pain or swelling in my gum
Hello, Thanks for writing to us. The appearance of ball in mouth will be due to-Abscess developed either due to re-infection of restored teeth or due to periodontitis. Please do visit a dentist and get a thorough clinical as well as x-ray evaluation done. Root canal treatment has to be done if required. Get deep scaling done. Maintain oral hygiene well. Take care.
