Is it better?: If better already, probably OK. If not, you may need a dentist. If a smoker, rule out cancer. If worsening daily, you will need blood tests (check blood counts). If involves upper part of jaw and you are taking medication for osteoporosis or other bone issues, you may have problems with TEmperomandibularbjoint.
