Your lower jaw has an arm called the condyle that rises up and hinges just under the ear.  This is called the Temporal-Mandibular Joing TMJ.  If your cavity/ies is so large that the tooth has worn down in theory this could cause your bite to change and you would have problems with your jaw joint.  Your ear popping would most likely be accompned by a very loud clicking, popping noise everytime you open or close.  If you have a lot of swelling from an infected tooth it can spread up to your ear and your life could be at risk, but you would feel really bad right at the moment.  If you don't have the above symptoms then, most likely there is no relation right now.

TMJ is caused when your jawbone shifts slightly out of alignment with the joint. You may also experience shifting or cracking of the jaw.  Tooth griding can be a cause but it's not true 100% of the time...it wasn't the case with me and I suffered TMJ for well over a month.\nThere is also a school of thought that suggests that it is also a result of low magnesuim levels...I started taking a daily vitamin as well...don't know if it helps TMJ but it couldn't hurt it.\nGo to the ER or your doc and ask for a script of novo-naprox.  Also mention that you aren't sleeping and perhaps try a sleeping pill...if you aren't sleeping then you cannot heal.\nAs for eating stick to soft foods (soups, oatmeal, ice cream!) but no meats or hard veggies...your jaw needs time to heal, not to work out at this point.\nAlso ice the pain as often as you can and eventually everything will shift back to normal.  You may not even need to see the specialist.\nI feel your pain...good luck.

YES IT DOES. YOUR BONE STRUCTURE IN YOUR JAW CHANGES SO THE SHAPE OF YOUR CHEEK WILL ALSO CHANGE. YOU MAY NOT KNOW THE DIFFERENCE, BUT WHEN WISDOM TEETH ARE PULLED  YOUR JAW-LINE USUALLY GOES IN OR SHALL I SAY CAVE IN CAUSE THOSE TEETH ARE GONE. I TOOK DENTAL TECHNICIAN FOR 1YR AND THAT'S WHAT I LEARNED WHILE STUDYING.

oww that hurt, i hate it when that happens\nbrush your teeth after every meal and before going to bed and after getting up, keep your mouth as clean as possible, and if it doesn't go away in a few days or gets worse call your dentist back....you might see if the store has mouth sore gel, it helps to numb the area and cuts down on infection.

At the most your gums might be a bit sore for a day or two. That should be about it.

My jaw hurt for about a day, then it was sore for a few more days - I had all four wisdom teeth out at the same time.

Take some tylenol or ibuprofen. Yes, if u have wisdom teeth coming in u will have pain in ur jaw and possibly in ur sinuses maybe headaches too. U will need to see a dentist.

Wisdom teeth that are "Partially in" or what we call "Partially Impacted" usually will not be able to come in on their own.  When they are positioned like this, there are more prone to getting infected.  If there is a pocket surrounding them (a flap of tissue or communication with the pocket from the surrounding tooth) bacteria or food debris can get trapped and cause a localized soft tissue infection.  If you are saying that they hurt you "a heap" now, then most likely they will continue to hurt; maybe even get worse.  Sometimes the pain might go away temporarily; however, it is sure to return sometime in the future.  I would recommend getting them out before they get worse.  It may be possible for your dentist to clean out the area around them and place you on antibiotics to TEMPORARILY resolve the pain until it is convenient for you to get them out; however, this is not a long term solution!

TMJ.  I have it too, it is greatly effected by stress.  If it tends to be worse in the morning, you may be ginding your teeth at night. You can purchase a moldable mouth guard to sleep with so that you don't clench your jaw as much as you sleep. Mine comes and goes for months at a time, so maybe a mouth guard and some painkillers would help before you spend all that money on a specialist.

You can talk to either your dentist and they might recommend an oral surgeon to go to so that they can check your wisdom teeth.  Even though it isn't causing any pain they might recommend having them taking out because it causes your teeth to shift (at least thats what happened to me).

First of all you need to see your dentist so he or she can take xrays of your wisdom teeth and do an exam to determine if they are going to erupt properly and to make sure you do not have an infection.  To ease the pain until then take 800mg of Ibuprofen which is prescription strength .. you can take this every 6-8 hours as needed for pain... but be careful not to use Ibuprofen for an extended period of time as it can be harmful to the stomach.  To help with the pain in of your gums rinse with warm salt water several times a day as it has a natural healing and soothing effect on the gums... use 1 teaspoon of salt to 8 ounces of water.  But definitely make sure to call and make an appointment with your dentist.

TMJ is the joint, not the disorder. That is TMD.\n\nSome people are problems with their jaw popping, and it is basically when the bones in the joint  are "clicking" against each.  It can wear out and tear the ligaments in the jaw joint.\n\nIt is possible that you have a problem with your joint, but there is no way to tell you this on here. You need to let a dentist, or TMJ specialist, take a look at it.

Yes, your mouth is going to be sore after getting braces placed. Your mouth will also be sore every time you go to the orthodontist to have them tightened, which is usually once a month. An hour or so before every orthodontist visit, take 800 mg of Ibuprophen which will help with the discomfort. Take it again about 8 hours after seeing the dentist. Don't worry, you'll be fine.

Cracks at the side of the mouth aren't all that normal, they can be a sign of anaemia, particularly if they look like this;\nhttp://www.dentistry.leeds.ac.uk/biochem/lectures/nutrition/Intro/angular.jpg

I had my wisdom teeth out a few years ago, when they numb your mouth they do something w/ the nerves and such, i couldn't feel the bottom right lower jaw from my back teeth to my chin for about 2-3 days, i got freaked out but my mom ( a doctor) told me it was alright... just don't panic and if you don't get feeling back in a few days, go to your doctor \nGOOD LUCK
