TMJ
Q. Could my wisdom tooth be causing my jaw pain?
A.
When wisdom tooth inflammation spreads to the surrounding jaw muscles, it becomes difficult and painful to open your mouth. In such cases, wisdom tooth extraction is the priority. However, if you experience jaw joint pain after a wisdom tooth extraction, it is likely a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) sprain caused by keeping your mouth open for too long during the procedure.
📝 Detailed Answer
원인에 따라 순서가 다릅니다.
- 발치 후: 턱이 아프면 즉시 냉찜질하고 며칠간 죽을 드세요.
- 치료: 발치 후 생긴 턱 통증은 침 치료로 굳은 근육을 풀어주면 금방 좋아집니다.
💡 감별
