Brief Answer:
Want to see more clinical picture to reach a proper conclusion

Detailed Answer:
Hii
first of all thank you for approaching us for your query.

I read through your query and I must say that the pain in the jaw can be due to many reasons like tooth decay, errupting wisdom teeth, infected teeth, due to excessive bite, trauma to the bone or in that area.If we want to reach proper conclusion we need to get a clinical picture or more symptoms about the problem. Please upload some pictures of oral cavity of that area and any x-rays or reports if you have.

Hope you understood what I meant.

Thankyou have a healthy day

Brief Answer:
Tooth looks to be fine

Detailed Answer:
Hii Thank you for your rapid reply.I saw the reports.Actually xray was not that clear. But from what I can make out from xray the teeth is fine..Reports given by the dentist say that there is cheek biting .The cheek biting can be due to excessive fat deposit or cheek sagging due to dieting which results in cheek getting stuck in between the upper and lower teeth of that side.I suggest you to do balloooning of cheek with warm water so that it extends your cheek little. And in case of ulcer in that area apply aneasthetic gel and do warm salt water gargle. Besides that stay happy and be calm.Hope you have understood what I meant. Thank u have a happy day.
