So i have a tender / irritated jaw area which i feel exaggerates after mastication!
I hv almost ruled out/ tried everything which could be concerning!
1) extraction of impacted no 38 ( wisdom tooth which was in gums)
2) scaling/ polishing
3) tried a splint/ mouth gaurd
4) grinded my upper teeth ( ruled out cheek biting)
5) changed my old cap in that region
Almost everyone related to dental!
Showed myself to over 50 dentists.. no tmj/ no lesions/ no cheek biting/ no cavities.. nothing!!
Still i feel a stingy sensation in my posterior region! Like if i press i feel that area tender/ tensed / dull pain , sometimes i feel it increases on mastication! What do u all think could be the issue? Its not in my head , so its not that iam making this up !
One thing which I haven't worked on is, my number 36 molar ! I had some issues in that tooth long back & got a new cap now ( year back) but the gums on side are tender, xray shows some bone loss, can that be the reason? Iam stuck
