How Can Teeth Sensitivity On One Side Of The Face Be Treated?

I was diagnosed with severe TMD and prescribed antibiotics & pain meds about 2-3 weeks ago, which helped. Now I'm beginning to have the same problem on the other side of my jaw. Feels like my teeth don't line up & teeth are sensitive on that side of my face

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As your teeth are not aligning, it is probably due to problem with the jaw joint and there can be probably slight displacement of the jaw joint.

So first of all, you should get a Panoramic x-ray done so that the exact problem with the jaw joint can be found.

If there is jaw joint displacement or any other problems with the jaw joint then mouth guard along with Physiotherapy and muscle relaxant can help in improvement.

Also avoid excessive mouth opening and take soft diet.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
