Q.
In May of this year I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed at the age of 37. I knew there would be risks but I wasn’t prepared for what I would go through. Shortly after surgery I noticed that the right side of my face had changed a little, it was a little sunken in more than the other side. I went back to my oral maxillofacial specialist to make sure that my new xrays didn’t show any deviations. After 1 hour of waiting for the new xrays I was told there were no devations. I’ve had MRI’s done, a CT Scan, and currently I am on Short Term Disability for a military curvature in my neck. The MRI’s and CT’s came back normal. I thought that this was all due to the military neck but am not so sure anymore since my facial difference is even more apparent now. It is now December and I am at a loss now. I want to see another Oral Maxillofacial specialist but am scared because of what happened to me with the other. The symptoms I got in the beginning were facial pain only on the right affected side. I got some nausea, and a radiating pain in the back of my ear, on the same side of course. I am scared and don’t know what to do. I also get neck pain, and this is what led me to the chiropractors. Thanks in advance for your answer.,
