Jaw injury: have you seen a dentist about your jaw injury? If you have not it is time to do this and find out exactly what was injured. A dentist can answer your questions after an exam, but you should know healing in the jaw can take a long time. Get it checked.

Post traumatic TMJ: The longer you wait to seek treatment for post traumatic TMJ, the longer it will take to resolve the problem. See your dentist or oral surgeon ASAP for examination and treatment.
