The middle of the right side of my jaw hurts when I chew gum. It gets sore like !


Question: The middle of the right side of my jaw hurts when I chew gum!. It gets sore like a muscle ache!?
I recently had a cavity filled in a tooth near the pain area!. I figured the filling was too high, so I asked my dentist to have a look!. She looked and said nothing was out of the ordinary, and used dye to be sure!. She drilled a little bit, and then I thought it felt fine!. Now, whenever I chew gum my jaw gets sore on only my right side!. It never hurts to eat food or chew anything else on that side!. Just wondering what this might be!? I had it filled last week!. Should I just wait it out!? Stop chewing gum!? (obviously)Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Stop chewing gum for now in that sensitive spot!. It's sensitive because the nerve is sore right now from the filling!. Just take a break from that side of your mouth!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well, the gum is sticky that's why it may hurt!.
EVEN if the filling is not too high (but maybe it is, it's up to you not only the dentist because you feel it), if it's composite resin the place can stay sensitive even up to one month, especially chewing gum!.
so chew gum on the other side and you'll be fine!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Stop chewing gum, for now!. HOw old are you!? Have you thought that it might be your wisdom teeth getting ready to come out!? That could be it!. Hope you feel betterWww@Answer-Health@Com

Don't chew gum!. The ingredients (i!.e!., plastic) can hurt you later in life!. And you'll never have a boyfriend!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
