Why am I getting pain in jaw so badly?

Monday, February 8th, 2010
Q.
Hello, I have had a recurring problem with my jaw over the past few years which presents itself as an inability to open my mouth very wide with some pain, with the stiffness and pain located in the top-left jaw joint. It happens very sporadically with months between attacks and no obvious cause beforehand. For some reason it has suddenly occurred but worse than usual, much worse. The left jaw joint is so painful if I try to open my mouth or even swallow, that I cannot eat anything requiring chewing because it is excruciatingly painful. Also, I cannot open my jaw very wide, as has happened before. What is new is the degree of pain when trying, it feels like I have suffered a blow to that area – a hard one! So far I have not sought treatment, nor ever had a dentist comment on anything being wrong with my bite or jaw alignment. What might be wrong and what’s the correct course to take? Thank you.,

What damage has jaw knock done to me?

Friday, February 5th, 2010
Q.
Hello Dr. Glaister, I was wondering if you could help me with my jaw pain. Five days ago I was playing with my dog and when she was trying to get away from me, the top of her head hit right underneath my jaw. I was not knocked out or anything, but did have extreme pain. I was holding and rubbing my jaw all day, as well as opening and closing it, which did and still does cause pain. Mainly when I open my jaw is when it hurts. There is no clicking. I have placed a call to my dentist and awaiting a return call. Any advice as to what is going on with my jaw?,

Can you offer advice on how to treat crooked teeth and jaw problem?

Tuesday, January 12th, 2010
Q.
Hi, recently I have become more and more self-conscious of my crooked teeth, and I also have a few other problems with my jaw and teeth. I was wondering what can I do? as my dentist (despite visiting regularly) has not sorted or even attempted to provide me with information on what is available or what work needs to be done to put these problems right. These problems are holding me back to an extent, and I believe that if they were put right I would be much more confident.,

Is surgery the only option for my overbite

Monday, December 21st, 2009
Q.
Hi, I am 21 and from Norfolk. I have just been and had a consultation about an over bite i have believing that it was sticky out teeth, turns out that it is not my teeth but my lower jaw 🙁 he said that i would have to have surgery if i wanted it corrected and that braces just wouldnt do much at all. he said that my overbite was 11mm and that the surgery would involve moving my lower jaw forward and probably my upper jaw back slightly. I am sure he said that this is available on nhs. i am now wondering if i heard correctly does this sound correct? Thanks

I have particles getting stuck between two crowns, what can be done?

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009
Q.
Dear Dr, I had two crowns put next to eachother on the lower jaw at the far back a year ago.While I was waiting with temporary ones they came out a few times and so I had to have them re-done and on the last occasion there were a couple of days with nothing on them. Ever since I always get meat trapped between the two crowns which can only be removed by flossing. This is awkward if I am out and so I have to have a vegetarian option or be careful to chew on one side only as it often feels uncomfortable with the meat stuck. My dentist says that nothing can be done and that he has the same problem. Is this correct? The original tooth was badly broken.

Post Orthognathic surgery my jaw has moved can this be reversed?

Friday, November 27th, 2009
Q.
I had orthognathic surgery where my lower jaw was meant to be moved only. I found out after the surgery my upper was moved too…impacted and advanced and has caused unwanted facial changes. Can this be reversed. Can my jaw now be setback and downgrafted…I do not wish to take legal action…just to get this rectified.
