Do your wisdom teeth causes headache?
Yes. Some of us can experience headache due to the growth of wisdom teeth.As those great teeth of false wisdom appear, a gum pouch develops where the tooth is trying to push through. This pouch can become infected, swelling up and getting in the way of some of your other teeth. Obviously, you don’t want to bite on that tiny pillow of infected gum tissue; it would hurt too much. So, most people solve the biting issue by adjusting their jaw position and changing their bite. This is where the problem really begins.By adjusting the position of your jaws, you may be instantly developing a bad bite. This makes the jaw joints go into the wrong position, which causes them to become inflamed and provide pain and problems for you. If that isn’t horrible enough, the bad bite pushes your jaw joints into your ear muscles whenever your teeth bite together. Because of this, your jaw muscles try and correct the problem to keep the pressure of the ear muscles, but instead go into spasms and cause pain. That is what causes that awful headache. Headaches are terrible enough, but someone with incoming wisdom teeth may constantly experience a wisdom tooth headache.TreatmentThe best treatment for a wisdom tooth headache is the removal of those wisdom teeth. Taking painkillers will only take away the pain and will not correct the core problem. Removing your wisdom teeth will keep your jaw from developing an improper bite and will, in turn, stop those wisdom tooth headaches.Visit Wisdom Teeth Removal Sydney - Safe, Gentle and Affordable
How can i cure my lock jaw? tmj? ?
** Usually with time it will go away. If you are young and still growing, most likely it will for sure. I was diagnosed with TMJ about 15 years ago, and it would only show symptoms when I had a tooth problem, and I started chewing different than normal. It would cause my jaw to get out of whack, and start aching, popping, and even lock up occasionally. Try to chew slow, and equal on both sides of your mouth. Stay away from things like Caramel, or Taffy. Foods that will require you to chew hard, and a lot, with force are not recommended. There are also exercises you can do to strengthen your jaw, and proper biting down techniques your dentist can tell you about. I just had to learn how to chew all over again a new way, sleep right, not grind my jaw at night, and the exercises, and I haven't had any signs of it still existing whatsoever, probably in the last 6-7 years. Basically in simple form, your jaw is out of alignment. Even if you consciously have to move your jaw over a bit every time you open and close your mouth, you need to do that as often as you think about doing it. After time it will become more and more natural for you to bite this way, and eventually you can make your jaw realign itself. It won't be overnight, and without pain, and it will take a lot of effort on your part, but rest assured it won't last forever. Good luck. **
I am 26 years old and one of my wisdom teeth on my left lower jaw has never grown in. My dentist told me that I am likely to have a problem with it at a later age. What could this problem be and what's the cause of the delay of tooth growth?
It sounds like your wisdom teeth are impacted. This means there is not enough room for them to grow in properly without pushing your other teeth out of place. I was seventeen when mine had to be extracted (removed surgically). Normally they are supposed to grow in around age twenty-one. If your jaw is becoming painful or you notice your teeth are closer together than they once were, I suggest speaking with an oral surgeon and having your teeth x-ray’d. If it is safe to do so, you can have them extracted before any (more) damage is done. They will put you to sleep for the surgery and when you wake up, you'll have a mouth full of gauze. You will be given a list of after-care instructions and teach you how to care for the extraction site. They will also give you a syringe containing no needle. With this, you will need to clean your gums by shooting water into the holes where your teeth once were every single time after eating to prevent food from lodging inside your gums and becoming infected. You cannot eat solid foods for the first few days, you'll need to change the gauze every few hours at first until the healing process kicks in and you aren't soaking through it with blood so quickly.I must give you a warning that I wish I had known after my surgery. I use to have a bad habit where I would bite the insides of my cheeks and continue biting anything that was not perfectly smooth. The gas they use to knock you out and the novicane, when combined, make you not think straight and also numb you so completely that if you have the same habit I did, BE CAREFUL NOT TO BITE YOUR CHEEKS. I bit a hole a so deep I almost made it to the skin on my face. I damaged a nerve in my cheek and have very little feeling on that side (although over the years it has come back more than I believed it would).If there is no reason for you not to get this surgery, you should do it as soon as possible. You don't want to damage your teeth and the younger you are, the quicker you'll heal. There will also be less chance of permanent nerve damage in your jaw done during surgery if you do it as soon as possible.Good luck!
Do I have TMJ?
About a week ago, my left and right jaw have started hurting and I don't know why. It hurts when I eat and when I don't eat. It also makes my ears hurt. My jaw pops when I eat and I have to wear a mouthguard at night bc I grind my teeth at night. My jaw popping problem started two years ago and I wore a mouthguard back then and my jaw popping problem and my grinding problem stopped and I thought that it would be okay to not wear my mouthguard anymore, but then the problems came back this year and my dentist told me to wear a mouthguard again and I have been. I also have toothaches that my dentists can't seem to find and they told me that I don't have any cavities. They told me that my teeth are healthy too. I also have two top wisdom teeth growing in. What's wrong with me? Do I have TMJ? I get headaches sometimes too.
