Frequent pain in the jaw
My husband had injured his right jaw while boxing a few years back. After which he experienced pain in his jaws for almost 2 months. He recovered from it, however a few years later his jaws started to hurt again. It became an on and off thing. Whenever this occurs, his jaws start to hurt badly, it also makes a clocking sound and he has difficulty in chewing and eating. Which doctor should we consult for the same?
