Hi all, just moved to a new city and am currently looking for a
dentist. However, I thought I'd post my case here in case someone can
give me some tips on what the problem(s) may be:

I am 27 years old.

I have had a pain (not unbearable, just annoying) on my left side of
the jaw in the area behind the teeth where the bottom and top portions
of the jaw connect near the ear lobe. It's nothing serious and
sometimes I forget it's there, but there are days like today where
they annoy me and it does hurt if I open my mouth too wide.

I've had this complication for a few months now, but it comes and
goes. However, If i try to open my mouth too wide, it hurts.

Does anyone have any clue what this could be? I heard someone tell me
that it may be a gland issue and I just need to use a mouthwash or
something that contains hydrogen peroxide.

Thought I'd post this hear in hopes of getting some feedback from the
professionals. Thanks again.
