I was eating a sandwich and when I bit down it felt like I broke a tooth(back bottom right molar) but its not broken but my jaw is in a lot of pain it hurts to talk, move my bottom jaw left or right and even chewing and swallowing is painful! What did I do? This has never happened before, did I dislocate it or is it tmj? Please help And the pain is only in the right jaw
HI Thank for asking to HCM I can understand your concern and your doubt is right this is because of the TM joint only, if chew in hurry and this may cause uneven movement in joint and pressure too this then cause pain, now you have to be careful while chewing laughing, yawning, if I would be your doctor then I would treat you with the following medicine, 1) Tab Diclofenac 50 mg once in day try to keep the lower mandibular in brace for some time, hope this information helps you have nice day.
