Pain in the jaw sometimes

Question:

Hello Dentistry,
Since my last dentist visit, I have had pain in my jaw sometimes. It was the worst right after my last dentist visit. So I did not have so big problems for 2-3 months. But now it starts getting worse again. It varies how long it take a while. It may take 1 day or 3 weeks, sometimes I have a sore jaw. It normally goes away after 1 day. It is most to the right.
If I must have done something about it, should I turn to my dentist or my doctor?
Sincerely

Jane

Answer:

Dear Jane,

This suggests that it is the temporomandibular joint on the right side that bothers you. Talk to your dentist about it. He can also exclude it from the teeth or muscles.

Hope you can use my answer.

Sincerely

Dentist Joan Olsen
