My husband is experiencing severe pain on the left side of his jaw. He said it s not a toothache but it comes and goes. So severe that I took him to the hospital yesterday but they couldn t find anything. He started using sensodyne whitening toothpaste last week , do you think this could be the cause?
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain in the jaw can be secondary to wisdom tooth infection, or it can be because of the temporomandibular joint disorders. Nothing to be panic, consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. You need to take radiographs like IOP AR and OPG to confirm the diagnosis. Meanwhile you can take analgesics like diclofenac(if you are not allergic). I hope my answer will help you, take care.
