So i have a tender / irritated jaw area which i feel exaggerates after mastication! I hv almost ruled out/ tried everything which could be concerning! 1) extraction of impacted no 38 ( wisdom tooth which was in gums) 2) scaling/ polishing 3) tried a splint/ mouth gaurd 4) grinded my upper teeth ( ruled out cheek biting) 5) changed my old cap in that region Almost everyone related to dental! Showed myself to over 50 dentists.. no tmj/ no lesions/ no cheek biting/ no cavities.. nothing!! Still i feel a stingy sensation in my posterior region! Like if i press i feel that area tender/ tensed / dull pain , sometimes i feel it increases on mastication! What do u all think could be the issue? Its not in my head , so its not that iam making this up ! One thing which I haven't worked on is, my number 36 molar ! I had some issues in that tooth long back & got a new cap now ( year back) but the gums on side are tender, xray shows some bone loss, can that be the reason? Iam stuck
