After 9 months of removing your wisdom tooth if you are getting jaw pain rule out local infection in adjoining teeth or gums next to the wisdom teeth removed or some other teeth or in the same region second check for Temporomandibular joint pain after ruling out the first set of possible causes

See a dentist /oral & maxillofacial surgeon

Hello madam,
If you underwent surgical tooth extraction of wisdom tooth 9 months back and never had pain all this while it is unlikely to be due to that. You need to get yourself evaluated to diagnose the cause. More often you tend to have a deep cavity in the adjacent (to the wisdom tooth) tooth. Please consult to rule out the possibility of pain due to the extracted tooth.
Next Steps
RVG or OPG and consult
Health Tips
Do you have sensitivity or pain on having hot or cold food in that particular region? It would suggest a cavity in adjacent tooth

Hello.. First x-ray evaluation should be done inorder to ruleout the cause.. which may be brokened/hidden root piece or trauma to adjacent tooth(Caries also). Improper healing of socket after extraction may leads to pus accumulation and bacterial infection called as Dry Socket. Consult your Doctor as soon as possible. Warm Salt water gorgle may helps you some what.

Hello. Has this symptom been persisting since you had the surgery done? Or did this start recently. Pain even after surgical extraction may be due to 1. Remaining root piece in the bone socket 2. Unhealed bone(dry socket) 3. Muscle or joint spasm due to prolonged mouth opening during procedure. Exact diagnosis can be made after clinical check up and fresh X-ray of the area.
Next Steps
Get yourself checked clinically by a dental surgeon

Don't open your mouth too much, and don't chew hard food items.
