TMJ and wisdom tooth
I have lower impacted wisdom tooth. Can it be cause of TMJ arthralgia? I have no pain at the site of wisdom tooth. Please advise.
Hi. While TMJ arthralgia can occur due to wisdom tooth (referred pain), there can be other cause of the pain too. Therefore it is advisable to consult your nearest Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon for a thorough history taking and clinical examination. You might also need to get an OPG done to access the TMJs.
Next Steps
Visit Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon asap.
Health Tips
Meanwhile, do have soft diet and avoid opening your mouth widely. Do keep a notice of other symptoms like clicking over TMJ area or feeling of restricted mouth opening.
