Dentist, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery,  's  Response
thanks for your query, the locked jaw could be because of the untreated disc disorders of the joint...consult your oral physician and oral maxillofacial surgeon...the lower jaw should be stabilized with a band or tape tieng around the head..do not oprn your mouth too wide take soft diet..if the dislocation repeats again you might have to go for surgical treatment. for pain you can take tablet piroxicam 20mg..... i hope my answer will help you..take care.
