Whiplash Injuries Go Untreated!
One in three people exposed to whiplash trauma is at risk of developing clicking, locking or pain in their jaw. This pain can develop over a year after the initial accident.
"The jaw joint is sensitive and very susceptible to whiplash injuries." Comments Dr. Jagmail Basrai of Chafford 100 Dental Care at Drake Road, Grays. "When people are involved in an accident they often focus on more obvious injuries and don't realise they have damaged their jaw. Symptoms can take some time to develop. The effect of jaw problems can be very painful."
Jaw joint problems can cause headaches, earaches, tenderness of the jaw, clicking sounds, neck and shoulder pain, even dizziness and ringing in the ears. If undetected permanent damage to the jaw bone and teeth can result. Medical research indicates that people who have undergone trauma to the face are five times more likely to develop symptoms.
"Problems with the jaw joint are difficult to detect and treat," explains Dr, Jagmail Basrai. "If you have been involved in any sort of accident or have had a blow to the face you should consult a dentist. We have sophisticated equipment to monitor the condition of the joint and spot problems early."

I knew that Whiplash was responsible for many Whiplash symptoms such as dizziness and tinnitus but never knew that it could also be responsible for jaw problems. Thanks for sharing this information ;)
