Question 4

Accepted Answer

Chipped tooth: Your jaw is more likely to be sore from bruxism (clenching\grinding of teeth) or from biting down on something hard that caused the tooth fracture in the first place. Pain can also radiate from the chipped tooth, an adjacent tooth or the sore tongue. Regardless, see your own dentist asap for a thorough evaluation and appropriate treatment.

Accepted Answer

Repeat MRI: What you are describing are not usual complaints. The MRI (of the brain) should be repeated with either contrast or special sequecing and compared with the previous MRI to look for any change in the findings. If there is no significant changes you should still be seen by an appropriately trained provider for an appropriate evaluation and history including a diet and possible exposure history.

Question 8

i don't know what's wrong with me? i've been getting on and off headaches every day several times a day. i've also been having jaw pain and toothaches often. the jaw pain is on both sides of my jaw. i've been feeling a strong pulse not only in my head bu

Accepted Answer

First, : First, you should go to health services and have them check your blood pressure since your pulses seem unusually strong to you. The other thing you should do is to make an appointment with your dentist. You may be grinding your teeth at night and experiencing temporo-mandibular joint dysfunction. The TMJ is the joint between the mandible (jawbone) and the temporal bone just in front of the ear. The pain would radiate from inflamed tmj's to the temples and the jaws. Your dentist may recommend a bite block to wear at night.
You are smart to limit salt and to try to lose weight.
Good luck to you.

Question 9

can my severe headache be related to the toothache and jaw pain in the right side?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: A toothache can cause you to shift your lower jaw to avoid closing on the tender tooth. This shift can cause the muscles that move the jaw to hold you in an abnormal position and the muscles will spasm and this can result in a headache. See a dentist to find out what needs to be done to fix the tooth that hurts and this will all probably clear up!

Question 10

i have jaw pain and toothache can it be an abcess?

Accepted Answer

jaw pain : When does your jaw hurt and is the toothache in the same area?  Does the tooth that hurts seem to be a single tooth or multiple teeth?  Do you grind your teeth at night?  Do you see any swelling or  pus around the tooth- see a dentist and they can take an x- ray to determine if it might be an abscess.
