I have a lump in my cheek. I had a root canal + crown about a month or so ago and noticed it when feeling my then still numb face. I can only really feel it when I open my mouth all the way, as if yawning. It's not visible, and about the size of a quarter. There's no pain, but it kind of moves a bit if I push on it.(Likes..slides a bit?) I did some research and found lots of stuff about salivary glands, but this seems a bit high up and more towards the front than the diagrams I've seen. Any ideas? I have no issues about going to the doctor, just wondering if anyone had any thoughts.

Silly question, but hey : why do we feel the need to lift a cheek when ripping one ?
