Wisdom tooth and TMJ
Can impacted wisdom tooth cause tmj pain ?
I have 3 impacted widom tooth (2 upper 1 lower) and I am experiencing tenderness on my right cheek, behind ears and joints. Also I have class 3 malocclusion. Should I start with occlusion correction with braces or wisdom teeth extraction ?
Also please tell if I undergo a wisdom teeth extraction surgery can 2 wisdom teeth be removed at a time ?
