My jaw hurts from boxing... Any tips?
Getting hit in the jaw jars the muscles that operate the jaw which will cause them to tighten up. Tightened up jaw muscles will be in pain and not allow you to operate your mouth properly, kind of like having a spasm in the muscles. To get rid of the pain you have to release your jaw muscles to free up the ones that have tightened up and here's how to do that release: Jaw muscles: Put your fingers on your head so your thumbs are behind your ears. Press into the back of your jaw bone next to the skull and hold that pressure. After 30 seconds slowly raise your head until your neck is fully extended then open your mouth as far as you can. Release the pressure but hold your head and mouth like that for another 30 seconds. For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.
My jaw hurts after tongue piercing???
If the pain is localized in your gums where your piercing could be rubbing, start looking at how your jewlery is sitting. Your barbell absolutely CANNOT be allowed to rest on your gums. This can irritate them and make them receed away from your teeth. Fixing gum erosion can involve surgery, so this is a problem you want to avoid entirely. Train your piercing to rest in the floor of your mouth, not against your gums. If you mean that the pain feels like its running along the lower edge of your jaw, that is probably just swelling associated with the piercing. I found that holding ice or a cool, damp cloth to the underside of your jaw helps with the discomfort. Most people find that their swelling goes down by the fourth or fifth day after being pierced. It is not unheard of to be swollen longer. Swelling can make your whole jaw and head ache much like you're describing. If your swelling gets out of hand or is squeezing your jewlery, see your piercer immediately. To help with swelling, consider medicine like Tylenol, Ibuprofen or anything similar. You can also suck on ice (or sip ice water), ice the outside of your jaw, and try to keep your head elevated above your heart. If your swelling gets alarming, see your piercer. As long as it's manageable, you're going to have to tough it out for a couple more days
Why is my jaw hurting after singing?
You are probably compensating with your jaw when you should use the core muscles in your body. That's common Too much breath pressure can build tension in jaw.When you breath in before a phrase, try to feel expansion on your lower back and relax your lower abdomen. Keep that expanded feeling in your body when you sing the phrase and control the air flow with your body rather than throat/jaw. If you want to sing more powerful, don't push too much air out, keep that "resistance" feeling in your body, and think of more resonance space. It's hard to explain that coordination in Quora but you could find some tutorials about breathing technique online, or get voice lessons if you have a possibility.When you sing higher pitches, make sure your jaw is flexible, open it a bit more, but not over-extending in a stiff way.
Is it normal to have your jaw re-aligned while being fitted for dentures?
You were fitted with partial dentures..Judging by the content of your question, they are removable..You will have been instructed by your dentist to remove them during sleep..For the rest of the time, you are supposed to wear them..Jaw opening and Closing is dependent on the muscles of mastication..It also depends on the functional anatomy of your Temporo-Mandibuar Joint (the joints in front of your ears, for easy understanding), but that is not relevant to this answer..Your complaint is that before fabrication of dentures, you felt that your jaw was closing normally.However, after fabrication of dentures, your mouth does not close properly without the dentures..If that is the case, then let me assure you that it is completely normal.When you lost your teeth, there was a change in the way your upper and lower teeth contacted each other..Your muscles habituated to that. So, without dentures, you were habituated with that manner of closure of your jaws..After the artificial teeth replaced the missing areas, your muscles again underwent recalibration to restore proper masticatory function.. This process is going on right now and compelling you to post this question.If you are having extreme discomfort due to foll. situations :-1. Edge of denture constantly impinging on the gums or tongue.2. Sharp edge causing redness, burning sensation or ulceration of soft tissues.3. Denture teeth contacting the opposite teeth prematurely, hence disabling the other natural teeth to contact the opposite teeth.4. Pain in front of your ears (single or both), which may indicate pressure on the joints.5. Referred Pain to your ears.6. Pain in the temple region.7. Pain when you remove the dentures at night.Then contact the dentist that fabricated your denture. He/She will solve the problem.However, if the dentures are new and the only complaint you are having is improper closure of jaws when dentures are out of the mouth, then I suggest you wait for a fortnight or so.. Your muscles will get habituated to this new state and your problem will soon go away..

Is it normal to have some pain 5 days after getting wisdom teeth removed?
I had one of my wisdom teeth extracted (bottom left) exactly 19 days ago. I was injected with anaesthesia a few moments before the extraction. My jaw, lips and tongue went numb and I felt no pain during the extraction. I was asked to bite firmly on a gauze to stop the bleeding. Then I went home.About two hours later, I started to feel gradually increasing levels of pain and discomfort. Of course, the dentist prescribed painkillers and antibiotics for me to use thrice a day which continually brought down the pain (the pain kept coming up every 6~8 hours). I was also asked to “rinse” the cavity with warm saline water.Over the next 48 hours, the pain felt less and less intense, with the help of the painkillers. By the third day, there was hardly any more pain, only a very slight strangeness of feeling with my tongue that a tooth was missing.I stopped the painkillers completely on the fourth day and there was no pain anymore. I still continued with the warm saline water rinse for over one week; this greatly helps with the healing process.If by the fifth day, there's still some pain that you still have to use painkillers, I don't think it's normal; you may need to contact your dentist.
Why does my jaw hurt after a wisdom tooth extraction?
Extracted teeth have pain because the exposed tissues have exposed nerve endings. This is a natural body response to tissue damage. Of course, the more difficult the surgery the greater the chance for pain.Malposed upper third molars can be removed easily and can have little or no operative pain. Lower full bony are another matter.Pressure on the bone can also cause pain. Teeth are removed by putting pressure between the bone and the teeth.The postoperative pain may also depend on the pain tolerance of the patient. Those with low pain tolerance will obviously have greater problems.

Sore Jaw after dental work / deep cleaning?
So about a week ago, I had dental work - a deep cleaning to be exact. They only did one side. (I'm due to come in for the other side.) Afterward the cleaning I wasn't surprised to have aching gums and a sore jaw. My gums are now normal (a week later), not painful in anyway. But my jaw is still sore around the right side near the "hinge" area - feels more like the muscles are painful. It hurts a lot when I open my mouth real wide. I will say that the pain lessened slowly from the day of the actual dental work - but it's annoying that I still can't eat a typical deli sandwich. I'm 38 years old and don't have TMJ so I don't thing that's the problem. Has anyone else experienced this? How long should it last?
