TMD
Temporomandibular disorder
I can't close my mouth. Something has happened to my lower jaw so when I try to bite down my lower teeth meet my upper teeth instead of falling behind them. My back teeth never touch which makes chewing worthless.
It hurts too...and it's causing a pain in my ear.
I don't know what to do about this other than go see the dentist or a doctor and I don't want to do either right now because I imagine that the appointments will take a long time and I just don't have that kind of time.
Soft foods...are what I am limited to. Bah.
