Hi I woke up this morning and went to open my mouth to brush my teeth and my jaw on the right side hurt really bad I could hardly open my mouth.  Its been that way all day. I cant eat a sandwich or anything where I need to open my mouth wide and its sore.
Hi. Can understand your concern. As per your complaint you may have a partially erupted wisdom tooth and the gum flap over it may have got inflamed due to either infection or injury caused by opposing tooth leading to pain and difficulty in opening the mouth. Other reasons can be any injury to the joint between lower jaw and skull, muscles, and ligaments, nerves and blood vessels. Any clear diagnosis can be given only after thorough clinical check up and x-rays as required. I would suggest you to see a dentist and get necessary evaluations done so that treatment can be executed. Hope your query is solved. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.
