S03: Dislocation, sprain and strain of joints and ligaments of head
S03.0: Dislocation of jaw
The jaw joint connects the mobile lower jaw bone to the skull bone. The jaw joints are located to the right and left, fairly close to the ears. In your case, as a result of an injury, the lower jaw bone has slipped out of the joint.
You may not be able to open or close your mouth properly as a result of the injury. You may also feel some pain, for example.
