Pain in left jaw
Hello,
I have pain in left jaw. It started when I woke up one day. Consulted 2 different dentists, took multiple x-rays... but they say it's all fine. X-rays attached. I am advised not to open my mouth wide, chew only from right but it's been a month. While chewing or when I open n close mouth I feel something is brushing against each other in jaw. Like a clicking sound. May be teeth n jaw bone? What to do?
