Jaw Surgery from 5 years ago?!
Question:
Jaw Surgery from 5 years ago?
5 years ago I underwent corrective jaw surgery. For my noticable underbite. During the years I did not feel any discomfort. However in the past two days. My left side has been feeling much painful discomfort. Is this normal? Is it normal to feel pain/discomfort even after receiving this jaw surgery years ago? Is it possible anyhow for the surgery to somehow reverse itself or become somewhat "undone" I'm becoming very worried. And considering contacting my surgeon.

See my message on your other post and relax! Your dental office will probably be able to see you tomorrow if you explain the situation. By the way, if you are really stressed about something (like this) and clenching your teeth it might make it worse.
