[|Human|] My wisdom tooth is coming out and every so often i get a hard lump like my skin gets swollen right besides my ear and jaw bone. I think this is because of my wisdom tooth because this lump is on the same side but on the outside part. Other than this i also have a hard time opening my mouth because my jaw feels locked (but this happens only in the mornings when i wake up)... until it cracks thats when I can open my mouth.
[|AI|]  Dear friend. Thanks for sharing your concern. In this case it appears as though you have an extra oral swelling which might be associated with erupting third molar. But as you have mentioned you feel a cracking sound too, that is not related to tooth eruption. It could be associated with your TMJ.also you have restricted mouth opening .this is due to underlying infection. I would suggest you to visit your dentist soon and get an OPG x-ray done too to see the exact picture of your jaw on that side. So that further it can be treated well. Hope it helps. Take care.thanks.
