I bit into an apple and dislocated the left jaw. It went back into place but not pops when i eat. How long will it take to heal so i can eat normally again.
Firstly, a doctor will have to reposition the jaw into place by using his/her thumbs. In few situations, surgery would then be proformed on the dislocated jaw and the jaw would have to be secured shut for a minimum of six weeks. In other cases surgery would not take place, although the dislocated jaw would still need to be bandaged.
The lower jaw (mandible) may be dislocated by force.
No it is not
It's a disease called TMJ see your orthodontist about it as it can result in a dislocated Jaw
Yes, the jaw can be dislocated, usually as a result of trauma.
Dislocation of the jaw can be treated by a primary care physician by exerting pressure in the proper manner.
yes
If the jaw is wired together then normally about 4-6 weeks. If not then round about 8-10 weeks. I broke my jaw about 2 years ago after get ran over. My jaw took about 7 weeks to heal without being wired.
If muscle spasm prevents the jaw from moving back into alignment, a sedative is administered intravenously (IV) to relax the muscles.
No, a fracter jaw is not the same as a broken jaw. A fracter jaw is a condition in which the jaw joint becomes permanently dislocated, while a broken jaw refers to a fracture or break in the jaw bone. Both conditions require medical attention.
Not seeing a doctor can lead to a variety of negative health effects. Even if you do not have it re-set, it will still try to heal on it's own, which can leave you with a permanently dislocated jaw, and joint trouble as scar tissue develops. See a doctor right away.
