Hi i got punched on the side of my head and face yesterday early morning and experiencing pain when i want to use my molars to chew my food. Ive just been chewing food on my incisors. I cannot chew food on my back teeth [molars] as it is painful to do so. Is there any quickfix/remedy out there to help my jaw regain its normal function
Hi, Thanks for asking the query, According to your history there could be a chance of fracture of the mandible, mobility, tenderness over the TMJ, disturbance of occlusion or a dentoalveolar fracture. I would suggest you to visit to an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon and get a checkup done take an OPG Radiograph, fractures in the mouth can be treated with intramural fixations and wiring. Strat with tab Amoxiclav 625\u00a0mg twice and tab Aerosol twice for 3-5 days. Take semisolid diet which is easy to chew, liquid juices, soup. Maintain a good oral hygiene, use chlorhexidine mouthwash gargles twice daily. Hope this helps out. Regards.
