Brief Answer:
Upload Xray in medical reports

Detailed Answer:
Hi ,

Thanks for writing in.

Could you please upload the xrays in medical report and I will get back to you. In the meantime, I would like to ask few questions:
- Do you have pain on biting?
- Does pain increase when you bite and gets relieved when you release the pressure.
If the answer is yes, then it could be cracked tooth which can be confirmed by clinical examination and CBCT. Please send me the xrays and I will get back to you.

Kind Regards
Dr Neha Sumra

hi doctor,

yes, I do have pain from 3-4 days on biting and releasing pressure. And also I have jaw ache(only right side) in the morning as soon as I wake up.
back story is, in December mid while playing water sports I was happened to fall into the water with force and gone through my whole right side of the face in pain for like 2-3 days.

Brief Answer:
Could be cracked tooth

Detailed Answer:
Hi there

Thanks for getting back to me.

If you have pain on biting which relieves on releasing the pressure then it could be due to crack tooth.
You would need to get CBCT scan and further investigations to see the extent of fracture.

Your sincerely
Dr Neha Sumra
