Hi. so I like to sing a lot but for a while now it feels like the muscles in my cheeks or maybe my tonsils? idk. feel tight and it feels hard to sing. This has been happening since I got my 3 wisdom teeth removed. My fourth wisdom tooth I use as my very back molar now. (had a root canal in the adult one) I was wondering if I needed to get my tonsils removed? Sometimes my jaw or muscle not sure how to explain it on my left where my wisdom tooth is still there becomes painful and feels like it locks my jaw into place, well it hurts to move. usually happens when I eat chewy food.
Hello and welcome. Thanks for sharing your concern. Can you please mention when did you get your wisdom teeth removed? Did the socket heal on its own or there was any infection? Does the tooth treated with root canal treatment hurts when you clench or close your mouth? According to the given history it appears it could be a case of Erasmus(lock jaw). It is best to get it clinically evaluated through your dentist once. If required you can also take an x-ray for the root canal treated tooth. Hope it helps. Thanks. Take care.
