Hi everyone, I hope someone might be able to give me some advice. Okay going to try and make this short and sweet. I am in process of getting full dentures. I have 10 teeth remaining on the bottom, and 6 teeth on top. Problem is I had all those pulled a while back, and have never had any problems, no swelling no bruising. However I wake up with my left jaw (upper portion) hurting pretty bad, but only when I open my mouth or move my mouth. Hope this makes sense.

I have noticed that lately I have been grinding my teeth, what is left of them. Could this be the problem, or something more serious? My next appt., is Sept 14th. I have been getting headaches all last week, but that has passed. I checked for fever, nothing. I am clueless, any advice?? Reason I checked for fever someone told me it could be lock jaw, and this scares me.
Well just prepping for possible hurricane here in South Florida, again! Hope to hear from someone regarding my dilemma. Thanks!
