Hi,I am 31 years old. My wisdom took is popping up.My dentist told me that it was growing kind of horizantally on seeing x-ray. My jaw swelled and I got soreness around that tooth . After using antiboitics (Amoxicillin) swelling reduced. But my problem is I can not open my mouth. Is it common to not open mouth with my condition. I appreciate your answer. Thank you
Hello Thanks for consulting Chat Doctor Read your query as you have soreness in gums and horizontal impacted wisdom tooth don't be worried so much difficulty in mouth opening is common symptom of impacted wisdom tooth. For this I will suggest you to consult your dentist and go for removal of wisdom tooth. In meantime you can take muscle relaxant like MySpace forte or flexion MR and do warm saline rinses. Consult dentist for its treatment. Hope this will help you.
