Your Injuries are Specific to You
When you injure your jaw, mouth and dental injuries may also occur. A tooth may crack, chip, break, be knocked out, become loose, or jam into the gum. Your teeth may not fit together properly. Jaw symptoms may be caused by a:
- Broken jaw
- Dislocated jaw
- Temporomandibular syndrome (TMJ)
Broken Jaw can cause difficulty breathing, speaking, or swallowing. You may have bleeding from the gums or between the teeth. It can also cut the inside of your mouth or face, where bacteria can enter and cause a serious infection. A broken jaw requires medical treatment.
Dislocated Jaw can occur when the lower jaw bone is pulled apart from one or both of the jaw joints connecting it to the base of the skull.
Temporomandibular Syndrome (TMJ) is a condition in which a person feels pain and discomfort in the muscles that connect the lower jaw bone to the skull. The most common cause is tension in the muscles that control the jaw, such as from clenching the jaw or grinding the teeth. The common symptoms of TMJ are pain when chewing, yawning, or opening the mouth and a clicking or popping sound when opening the jaw.
