hi. ok i have a cracked lower right wisdom tooth with a temporary filling the tooth has been infected and i should be having it removed in 12hours... however my jaw will not open more then 2cm will this cause a issue for the procedure or will the dentist be able to force the jaw open?
Hello, Thanks for consulting ChatDoctorRead your query as you have infected wisdom tooth causing reduced mouth opening known as Erasmus or reduced mouth opening can be related to TMJ dislocation also don't be worried so much consult your dentist for medication antibiotic and Muscle relaxant that will be helpful in opening your mouth. In meantime do warm saline gargle two - three times a day. You can take medicine like Amoxicillin and MySpace forte by consulting with your local doctor. Hope this will help you.
