Difficultyin mouthopening
I was having a bad tooth ache few days back, and all of a sudden I am unable to open my mouth. I can hardly place single finger in my mouth.
I have been to a dentist he said I would need to go through a minor surgery to extract the last tooth, I believe the wisdom tooth.
But the surgeon couldn't, coz the mouth opening was not upto the mark.
I'm having a hard time eating anything due to this and the pain gets worse daily and the mouth opening is still the same.
He has given few medications but still nothing happened.
It's almost 3 days now. Any suggestions, of what this is and how to fix this.

What u are suffering from is called trismus or inability to open your jaws due to infections and spasms of your jaw muscles.. We need to open your Jaw with a jaw opener which is a device which slowly opens ur Jaws. It's a scissor shaped instrument which helps open ur jaw one turn at a time. You also need an antibiotic course with an antiinflammatory along with a muscle relaxant. Then we can check what's the issue with the third molar. Plz send your OPG xray for further evaluation. Feel free to consult Laser Smile Care Centre. God bless u.
