Swelling on my cheeks
A few years ago I had undergone a surgery in my mouth. Due to the growth of wisdom tooth on the left side there were bite marks while chewing along the intersection of cheeks and gums. Due to deposition of food stuffs that portion had turned pale and had started to swell. I consulted a doctor and through surgery that unwanted food stuffs were removed. But now once again there seems to be a bit of swelling in that portion and while i sleep with my head inclined to that side i can feel part of flesh protruding from my cheek like a small ball and it pains a bit at times.
Please do suggest a doctor whom i can consult and get this treated as soon as possible.
Looking forward to your advise.
Thank you.
