Call your surgeon: You may have muscle trismus. There are certain exercises you can do to help alleviate your symptoms. Let your surgeon know about your condition.

See DDS: Contact the oral surgeon or dentist that extracted your teeth for their opinion and possible need for TMJ therapy to expedite opening.
