RIGHT JAW LINE PAIN
I have a right jaw pain from long time. It keeps coming and going. I had a impacted wisdom tooth which I got it removed a year back. I keep biting my cheek regularly. Jaw line is tender to touch and some swelling is also seen. The pain starts from below the ear, middle of the jaw and froth of the right jaw. It pains when I open the mouth wide. I am in trouble. Got OPG XRay Done. Attaching for your ready reference. Please guide.
