Q. I have an upper jaw pain and cannot close my mouth. What could be the reason?
Hello doctor,
From my left front tooth, all the way to the back of my teeth on top hurt. I cannot close my mouth and it feels like the pain is going up into the bone under my nose. What could that possibly be?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- From your description, it seems to me that you have an apical periodontitis.
- If you have any cavity related to this area, the tenderness is because of it.
- Or you must have malocclusion, meaning there is more pressure on these teeth.
- You need to visit a dentist who will investigate to find the exact cause, as well as, treat it.
- I suggest taking:
- Tablet Augmentin 625 (Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid) twice daily for three days.
- Tablet Aceclofenac 200 mg twice daily for three days.
- Avoid eating hard foods.
