Physiotherapy Helped A Lot…

Dennis

I mentioned some time ago that I had problems with my jaw after a dental treatment. The problem was called “Trismus” and I also mentioned that I had to visit the physiotherapist. At first I was very sceptical. I had two appointments each weeks and it is funny how time flies. I think I have now twenty appointments behind me and won´t need more. It really helped a lot so that my jaw is ok now. My mouth opening is maybe still not the same as in the past but I can eat now and the jaw is functionally recovered … Continue reading Physiotherapy Helped A Lot…

I thought I could wait until next week but then I realized that it even hurts … Continue reading Visited The Hospital Because Of The Trismus

Dennis

Looks like I am suffering from Trismus. This term refers to mouth and jaw opening problems. I had a dental treatment behind me as I mentioned earlier and I also had some appointments as the dentist wanted to check out the wound healing and he removed bone fragments from the wound. I told the dentist that I have problems with my jaw and to open the mouth. The mouth corner was a little bit torn after the first big treatment but I had this problem for a week and then was everything ok. But I still couldn´t and I still … Continue reading Still Problems To Open The Jaw After Dental Treatment. Has Anyone Ever Had Trismus?
