How Can Severe Pain In The Cheek After A Cheek Bite Indicate?
Chomped down on my own cheek with my wisdom teeth, it bled and was very sore but it passed. About 4 days later a deep, throbbing pain has started in the same area. It s not an ulcer, it s not my teeth and there s no pain in my gums, it s coming from the area right at the back of my left cheek which almost feels like one of the tendons connecting to the jower jaw....which is the exact area I bit into. Is it possible I ve damaged the muscle when I bit my cheek?

Hello dear
Warm welcome to Healthcaremagic.com
Thanks for approaching Ask a Doctor section.
* As per the narration and my clinical experience co relation, the
current condition is due to residual tissue scarring at the injury site of
bite rather than muscle damage.
Hope this clears your query .
Wishing you fine recovery .
