Lenzie,

Is the sore area of your jaw bone in the same arch as the root canaled tooth? Or is it in another arch that has another root canaled tooth? Which tooth has the fistula and do you have other root canaled teeth?

I felt inside my mouth and there was a small lump (smaller than a pea) when I rubbed under my gum line right about my jaw bone. You can not see it, only feel it. And it only hurts when i press on it. Is this a cyst? Or something to do with an infection spreading? Thank you for your help!
