See dentist: There is little you can do on your own. See a dentist that can diagnose your problem and offer appropriate treatment. To find a dentist in your area see your own dentist or a dentist listed under www.Aaop.Org or www.Aacfp.Org.

??: I am not sure what you are trying to accomplish. Numbing your teeth will not enable you to increase jaw movement.
