How does ameloblastoma affect my face and jaw?
You may notice swelling in your upper or lower jaw that happens on one side of your face by not the other. If you see your dentist twice a year, they may find this issue before you develop visible symptoms. Sometimes the tumors grow so large they make it look as if you’ve tucked nuts or small balls between your jaw and cheek. An ameloblastoma may make it hard for you to move your jaw.
