Why Is It Painful To Chew And Extremely Sensitive After Having A Permanent Dental Bridge Put In?
I had a bridge put on my lower right side 2years ago it has always been sensitive , feels like a pressure my dentist removed the bridge and put on a temp after awhile the pressure eased and he replaced it with another perm. bridge. a couple of weeks ago for no reason my jaw locked up and it was very painful to chew, could this be the bridge?

Hello and welcome to HCM forum,
I would like you to know that sometimes if the bite is not recorded properly while the permanent bridge is being made, jaw problems are very common.
I would advise you to get a second opinion and visit a denture specialist.
I hope i answered your query.
If you have any further questions feel free to write back.
Thank you.
I wish you good health.
Take care.

Hello and welcome.
Thanks for sharing your concern.
Yes absolutely you are right in your approach it could be due to permanent crown placed on your teeth.This has given rise to lock jaw or trismus.
please revisit your dentist and get it examined.you might also required a course of antibiotic and analgesics as it would give relief from any introduced infection in your jaw during or after the procedure.
Hope it helps.
Thanks.
