I : I suggest you make an appointment with your dentist for an evaluation. It could be your wisdom teeth that are erupting and rubbing against your cheek, causing an ulceration. You can also be biting your cheek because of the wisdom teeth. Can't say for sure, sight unseen, over the internet.

So I have an issue. Some of the back teeth in my lower jaw on the left side hurts if I chew down on food or if I brush my tongue on it. It happens for a day, stops for a few weeks, then picks back up. It's not a sharp pain, more like a dull pinching pain.
I yawned this morning while laying on my side and now my right lower jaw hurts. Cant bite down cant really open my mouth. Do I need a doctor or a dentist?
