My son is currently receiving treatment at the oral and maxillofacial surgery department for jaw pain.

Since I was in school, I occasionally mentioned that my right jaw hurt, but I didn't think much of it. However, this time the jaw pain was so severe that I had difficulty eating, so I visited an oral and maxillofacial surgery dentist instead of a general orthopedic clinic. The doctor examined me and said that I grind my teeth at night, causing the jaw cartilage to try to dislocate. Fortunately, it's not serious enough for surgery, but since this has been a habitual issue rather than something that developed overnight, he recommended making a jaw joint splint and wearing it consistently. The splint took a week to make. I went back after a week of wearing it, and I was told I had improved a lot. Still, I need to wear it for more than two months. Haha, the cost is expensive, so I wonder if I should stop wearing it, but I guess I have to follow what the doctor says! I paid 600,000 won for something that looks like a denture. Oral and maxillofacial surgery clinics are not common; there was only one nearby. But it seems that the treatment methods are definitely different. After the first day of physical therapy, I improved a lot, and after wearing the splint, the pain significantly decreased.
If you have jaw pain, please visit an oral and maxillofacial surgery dentist.

- 01CommentsIf you have a habit of washing your hands frequently and vigorously, your skin barrier may be damaged, potentially leading to severe dryness, flaking, or skin irritation upon contact with water. Since there are various possibilities such as chronic hand eczema, irritant contact dermatitis, allergic contact dermatitis, and damage to the stratum corneum, an accurate diagnosis appears necessary. If the appointment at Seoul National University Hospital is too late, please try inquiring at the dermatology departments of other university hospitals or tertiary general hospitals.611026.11.08
