Symptoms of JAW TUMOR
Jaw tumors are usually brought to light because their growth causes swelling of the face, palate, or alveolar process (the area of the jaw around the teeth).
These tumors produce severe pain, swelling and tenderness over the affected bone.
Some of these tumors, such as ameloblastoma, the most common epithelial odontogenic neoplasm, usually arises in the posterior mandible. Due to slow growth, it rarely produces symptoms early one. It is apparent on radiographic examination.
