Symptom #2: Facial Numbness

It is normal for a person with a dislocated jaw to experience facial numbness. This is the body’s reaction to the shock of the injury. Numbness in the gums can also be experienced along with facial numbness. While it is a normal dislocated jaw symptom, it can be uncomfortable and quite irritating.

You normally need a doctor to treat the dislocated jaw and get it back to normal. The treatment may include muscle relaxants or local anesthetics to help subdue the pain and loosen up the jaw muscles to allow for further treatment and healing. Only in severe cases will surgery be considered an option.
