10 Dislocated Jaw Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #8: Breathing Difficulties
A person with a dislocated jaw could experience breathing difficulties as a result of the other symptoms. Swelling and bleeding could reduce the air space, making it difficult for air to flow in and out. It is also possible to choke on saliva or blood as the swelling impacts the throat. An accompanying symptom could be having trouble swallowing.
The breathing problems will, fortunately, become less of an issue as soon as the dislocated jaw is treated as that will reduce inflammation and swelling. When experiencing trouble breathing, the key is to remain calm and seek medical help if you are not already at a hospital or clinic.
