Hello Doctor,My wife is having pain in her right cheek for the last few days recently, today its more worse. The pain is more when she wide opens her mouth and she feels the little  crackling sound around her right cheek. She also feels pain in the right teeth area. please advise what could this be related to? thanks.-Jude
With your query you did she had cheek bite? And any habits like smoking or pan chewing etc. Or wide opening of mouth while yawning are important to rule whether she had any TMJ problem or not? And to rule out changes in the buccal mucosa. Secondly, it is important to know the status of tooth whether is there any decay or swelling in the vestibular area or fillings and presence of any wisdom tooth where in an impacted tooth with presence of infected periodontal flap covering the tooth with limited mouth opening could also be the reason so, it is important for us to know details of which you haven't mentioned anything about it. Are there any ulcerations or white patches are seen then it could be an opportunistic infection. I would suggest you visit nearby dentist since your history is not clear. Hope this is useful.
