my jaw has been swollen for the past 4 months and it keeps getting worse day by day is surgery the only option or are there other treatments that could help
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Swollen jaw pain is often treatable without surgery. If the swelling is caused by a dental problem (like an abscess or periodontal disease), antibiotics or dental procedures (root canal, extraction, etc.) might be needed. If it's due to TMJ (temporomandibular joint) issues, treatments like physical therapy, medication, or a night guard can help. If the swelling is caused by a tumor or cancer, surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy might be necessary. It's crucial to see a doctor or dentist to determine the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.

View allI'm really scared about getting my wisdom tooth removed because it's partially grown and causing me a lot of pain. I've heard about laser-assisted surgery does it actually help with less pain and no stitches? I'm super anxious about the whole procedure
Yes LASER assisted surgery is better but then it adds to the cost. The conventional flap raising method is time tested
