Fell On Chin, Impossible To Close Mouth. Is Jaw Dislocated?
Today I fell on my chin and hit the ground hard. I cut my chin and it bled and now I cannot close my mouth all the way. It is on the left side and it feels like something is in the way. It is impossible to close my mouth. It feels weird. Is my jaw dislocated?

Hi,
From history it seems that due to hard hit on chin there might be some impact on TM joint giving rise this problem.
There might be having dislocation or sub laxation of TM joint.
Apply ice pack on the part.
consult oral surgeon and get examined.
Ok and take care.
