[|Human|] I got sucker punched about a week ago on the left side of my jaw and it didn t swell up or anything but my bottom molars on that side and cheek none ache on and off and when they ache there is a slight numb feeling on the left side of my chin and lips , it kinda hurts to chew but not really and when I move my jaw around I can hear/feel a grainy feeling in one of my left bottom molars. What is wrong and when should it heal? Should I see a doctor?
[|AI|]  Hi and welcome, Physical Trauma to the jaws and teeth may lead to inflammation of the tissues causing pain and discomfort. I would suggest you to get an OPG radiograph done. This examination will confirm the damage to tissue if any, condition of jaws and teeth, presence of hematoma or blood clot may be caused by impact injury.Accordingly, treatment can be carried out by a dentist. I suspect, Molar teeth may have developed irreversible pulpits due to impact which needs a root canal treatment for permanent pain relief. Pain in jaws and muscular aches can be cured by analgesics like TRAMADOL. Twice daily along with anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. I hope this helps, take care.
