My jaw hurts real bad and can't see the dentist for a week and can't see the doctor till this coming wednesday i have tmj what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sore jaw: May or may not be from the TMJ Dysfunction. Until you can get professional help you can try palliative measures such as Ibuprofen every 4 hours, warm compresses, absolutely soft diet (soup, mashed potatoes, pudding, ice cream, hit the baby-food isle, etc.)
