Two and a half weeks ago I had a temporary crown put on my upper left side tooth near the back. Two days later I had two fillings put in on my lower left side. My mouth was sore from the crown and then after the freezing from fillings came out, I ve had really bad pain when I open my mouth or yawn. I have to hold my mouth shut when I yawn. I can t open my mouth more than about a half an inch without lots oh pain on my left side upper jaw area. Thoughts?
Hello Sanskrit, The following could be the causes. It seems like a problem in your joint which connects your upper and lower jaw due to excessive opening of your mouth2. Temporary cap which had been cemented could have high points . i.e. you might not be able to bite completely which can lead to secondary infection if their for a longer time period. You might need to get some intro oral x-rays clicked to confirm. If pain is severe you can take an anti-inflammatory medicine Thank you and get it checked as soon as possible.  Chat Doctor.
