SEE A DOCTOR!: If you have a dislocated jaw you need to see a doctor immediately. Go to the emergency room right now and get that taken care of!

ASAP: Just like any other dislocated joint, the longer you wait the harder it will be to get back into place and the more damage will happen. Usually a dentist or oral surgeon can relocate your jaw in just a few minutes. The relief can be extremely quick after relocated.
