So, last Wednesday I had some extensive dental work done. Just a filling, but it was on the back side of a last molar, so very difficult to get to. My jaw was all the way open for the better part of an hour.
So, a week later my jaw was still pretty sore. If I tried to chew on that side it was uncomfortable. Anything crunchy sent sharp pains into my lower jaw. My face was swollen too. So I contacted my dentist, they kinda blew me off.
I happened to be in my chiropractors waiting room when I contacted my dentist. I mentioned the the pain to my chiropractor. He said my jaw/cheek was indeed swollen. My jaw was dislocated. Seriously!! Thats why it hurt so much. I let my dentist know. My jaw feels much better, but crazy.
