Why can't i open my mouth as wide as i could in the past?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Spasms: When muscles become shorter from loss of teeth or whiplash injuries we experience muscle spasms or charley horses which limit our opening and closing. Ask you family dentist to diagnose your bite and temporomandibular joint or refer to a dentist who treats jaw joint issues.
