What Relieves The TMJ Pain Caused Due To The Crown On The Rear Tooth?
I had a crown put on a rear tooth six days ago, and had my mouth stretched open with a block, and several injections. Now, I have severe tmj pain, and can't open my mouth wide enough to eat solid food. It's very manful. Hot packs, ibuprofen, Tylenol 3 and muscle relaxants are not providing relief. I'm not sleeping well.

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
Actually when this kind of TMJ pain arises you have to take precautions medications and exercises.
You give hot packs to TMJ area and then apply diclofinac gel to the area at least 3 times daily.
Take muscle relaxants plus combination of aceclo-para-serratio thrice daily with an antacid, sd it will create acidity.
Avoid hard food and wide opening gor some time more.
Even go fo mouth opening and closing exercises once a day for 15 min.
Hope it will help you
