Let me preface this by stating how utterly terrified I am of the dentist; traumatic experiences as a child etc etc. This is compounded by covid right now, as I'm clinically vulnerable.
I have a sore jaw, left side, right at the back. It isn't super painful but has woken me up a couple of times over the last few days. The discomfort switches between upper and lower jaw but is always at the back of my mouth. Right now, it's a mild ache, but has gone completely and been moderately painful with no sort of predictability or pattern. Paracetamol sorts it out until it wears off.
If this was toothache it wouldn't get better or move right? Like something that would require a dentist intervention. I think I have one wisdom tooth but honestly have no idea. I can't ask DH as he will tell me to get checked out either way. If its likely to be wisdom tooth related I can manage the discomfort until it settles but don't want to leave something that will get worse and require much more intervention.
