Hi Dawn, similar has happened to me a few times in my life. I have heard that toxins and metals migrate and concentrate quite heavily in the jaw because of all the nerves etc.

So if there is anything in there and you were oil pulling, you may have shifted it or something. But a while back I cheated on my diet and everytime I did my jaw would lock up and then come back to normal. Oneday it didn't go back to normal and I spent ages with a jaw that I could not open properly. I coudl hardly get my toothbrush in.

It was so bad that I thought it was permanent, but turns out over time it did come back to normal.

I also had bad jaw when I had braces on my teeth. Many things can cause this and I do believe it's toxic related. It is awful what has happened to you and it's possible you may have shifted quite a bit of concentrated toxins/metals or mobilised them in those areas and are now suffering the consequences. It could be stored mercury or anything.

I do hope this starts to die down dawn. Maybe the DMSA will help that. Some say cilantro appears to help get things out of the nerve areas. I don't know if you're game to try that one though. It's all risky isn't it?
