Temporomandibular Joint

2021-01-18 09:15:48
I recently felt a slight disorientation in my jaw and was unable to move the jaw freely for about a week. Though it has been over 6 months, I am still not able to open my right jaw properly. It gives me a headache at times. And has started giving my face a very asymmetrical look with constant pain. Wat doctors can I consult for it?

You can consult an oral medicine specialist for the diagnosis. A prosthodontist can help if an appliance or any further treatment is needed after the diagnosis.
