Hi.
I am suffering from TMJ disorder which is causing jaw popping and deviation. It has also caused slight ringing in ear.
I have attached a picture of my OPG Xray of my teeth. I have wisdom teeth on both sides.
Kindly suggest, will removal of the wisdom teeth reduce pressure on the jaw joint and prevent the TMJ disorder from becoming worse? Will I get relief after wisdom teeth removal?
What else needs to be done apart from wisdom teeth removal?
Hi yes wisdom teeth removal helps you to relieve symptoms of TMJ disorder.If still pain persists physical examination is required to check other parameters of TMJ disorder.Occlusion of teeth needs correction if required.Consult dentist.
Next Steps
Take soft diet
Avoid wide mouth opening
