I think I have a toot ache? ?

Question

cause yesterday every time I opened my mouth, my like jaw would hurt, and now it still hurts but every time I open it I hear a clicking sound like I'm double jointed in my jaw, and ive never heard that before?

And don't say "go to the dentist" because I know and Im going too.

(im VERY scare of the dentist. :/)

Answer 1

A toothache is a very distinct pain. I doubt that is what you have.

When you have a toothache, it's like a very sharp throbbing pain going through your entire mouth.

Have you ever eaten something cold and it made your teeth hurt? That's similar to what it's like. Except it's about 10 times worse.

Good luck at the Dentist :o)

Answer 2

sounds to me like you have a dislocated jaw. this happened to me, and i hadn't injured myself.

this website explains the condition http://www.medic8.com/dental/tmj-disorde...

my problem was resolved by the dentist making me a mouth guard to wear to bed, almost like a gum shield.

hope this helps, and your pain goes away. i sympathise!!!!!!
