I am unable to open my mouth more than two fingers wide what to do
hello any previous history of dental treatments like fillings tooth removal root canal treatment habits history tobacco chewing smoking any associated tooth pain any recent fall injury this lock jaw could be due to several factors like tensed jaw muscles wisdom tooth issues jaw joint issues or could be a condition called osmf which is caused by a long term pan chewing habit initially this condition is treated with painkillers and muscle relaxants please continue using the tablets for the said number of days this will take atleast a week to come back to normal state however a clinical examination is required to diagnose and treat it suitably and do not open mouth forcefully because this can restrict the mouth opening still more and delay the recovery please continue the meds and report back to your doctor for review and practice the mouth opening exercises that your doctor had instructed good day
