Question 1

My jaw deviates to right side on opening mouth and it deviates to left side on closing mouth. I also listen a clicking sound from my right side of jaw during opening mouth. I feel my left jaw is much more mobile than that of my right jaw. I feel difficulty during opening mouth and difficulty in breathing during sleeping on my back. I feel my facial muscles are very tight and tired. I have also neck pain and back pain. So please tell me what should I do now and can you suggest any special exercise for this condition? Please help me.

Accepted Answer

You likely have temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, which can cause jaw deviation, clicking, and muscle tightness. Avoid hard or chewy foods, practice gentle jaw exercises, and apply warm compresses. Consult a dentist or TMJ specialist for evaluation and treatment. For neck and back pain, consider physical therapy to improve posture.

Question 2

After I brush my teeth and clean my tongue, I notice small spots of blood on my tongue, but they disappear after I rinse my mouth. Theres also slight swelling on the sides of my tongue, but it doesnt hurt. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?

Accepted Answer

Could be due to minor trauma from brushing too hard or using a hard-bristled toothbrush. The slight swelling on the sides could be due to irritation. To help with this issue, you can try using a softer toothbrush and being gentler while brushing your tongue. You can also use a mouthwash with an antibacterial agent to help reduce any inflammation. If the issue persists, you can try using an oral gel containing benzocaine to help with any discomfort.

Accepted Answer

It sounds more likely to be related to a wisdom tooth issue or a dental infection, especially if there's swelling and pain in the jaw. Cancer typically involves more noticeable changes like persistent sores, bleeding, or lumps. It's best to see a dentist for an accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Accepted Answer

Could be a sign of infection. It's good that you have no pain, but the odd taste may indicate an issue. I recommend using a mouthwash containing chlorhexidine gluconate to help with the taste and prevent infection. You can also take antibiotics like amoxicillin to treat any infection that may be present. Make sure to follow the dosage instructions provided by your doctor. If the odd taste persists, it's best to consult your dentist for further evaluation.

Accepted Answer

Your symptoms, including sudden severe pain on the left side of your forehead, upper gums, and teeth, accompanied by feverishness, suggest a possible dental issue, such as an abscessed tooth or infected gums, or potentially a trigeminal neuralgia or sinusitis; schedule an urgent appointment with your dentist
