My mom has locked jaw. This is the third time it has happened. She suffers severe pain on left side of jaw when it happens. X ray revealed no problems with the teeth arrangement (dentists said). The jaw starts locking after she feels some grinding sensation on her left teeth (between top and bottom rows on rear side) or when she eats something particularly solid. The dentists we visited said that this cannot be treated. Please help.
