A member asked:
I have painless jaw popping since the day of my dental filling 4 weeks ago. will it go away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: After dental procedure - keeping mouth open for while - is a strain for jaw joint. It is very common feel pain to more popping while eating or just yawning. Try to eat more soft diet and avoid crunchy stuff and chewing gums. Clean your teeth as usual and use anti-inflammatory as Ibuprofen or Naproxen to relive discomfort. Sometime it takes 3-4 weeks to be back in normal.Follow with dentist .
