Hi I have some minor hyper mobility in my jaws which the dentists told me is cuz of wisdom tooth eruption . It returns periodically. The pain is like a dull ache and feels like a muscle contraction . I think it also radiates towards my eyes because it can I am guessing not directly give me terrible eye strain. When the ache goes away my strain also feels better . What should I do ?

Consult a good oral and maxillofacial surgeon. If it is a wisdom tooth issue it can be taken care of. For TMJ issues I’d bite problems are the cause then you might require a consultation with the prosthodontist
