Hi probably that could be because of wisdom tooth eruption. When wisdom tooth is coming out few people might experience these kind of pain and discomfort. I suggest you to take an x-ray of that particular tooth and check for any abnormalities and also you might feel better if you take any antibiotic and muscle relaxant for 3 days.

It doesn't work that way. Initial trauma might have distorted. But gradual forces made it happen so. So it will be better for you to go to a dental surgeon nearby. Oral and maxillofacial pathologist or surgeon might help you particularly with your situation. Don't need to worry at all. Don't forget to mention if my advice is helpful.

Hello Lybrate user. The jaw is locked in its position. It's seen in many patients. It may be due to bruxism, frequently chewing, stress, tempero mandibular joint disease. The treatment plan depends on the cause. Check if you have the habit of bruxism. Don't feel stressed. Take calcium and magnesium rich foods. Apply warm pack extraoraly. Gradually it will subside. Consult me for further treatment plans and procedures. Thank you.
