When I open my mouth wide, on the right side, the part of the palate the appears to connect to the upper wisdom tooth is extremely tight compared to the left.  It almost feels as thought it is stretching and going to rip.  My tongue also is not level.  Instead the left side is slightly elevated versus the right side.  What could be causing this?
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, Tightness in the region of right upper wisdom tooth could be due to infection or inflammation in the region of the wisdom tooth. Is there associated pain in that region? In case there is associated pain, then there is possibility of infection and inflammation. I suggest you to consult your dental surgeon for clinical assessment and relevant investigation- X-ray of jaw. The exact diagnosis can be made after clinical assessment and investigations. Treatment can be planned thereafter. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
