Is this normal?!
Question:
Is this normal?
I think I'm getting my top wisdom teeth (only on one side right now) and I noticed when I was eating a sub sandwich that it hurt when I opened my mouth more than about an inch. I don't know if this is normal or if I should ask my mom to take me to the dentist. (She would ask but she's electronicaly chalenged haha)
Thanks!

A while ago, I had pain opening my mouth any more than an inch (I had trouble eating even a banana) and my jaw would often click or pop. The doctor diagnosed me with something called TMJ syndrome (TMJ being short for Temporomandibular joint). Perhaps this could be the problem for you? Causes of TMJ syndrome, as well as symptoms can be found through the links I've included in my sources. Good luck finding out the cause of your pain and I hope you get better!
