From: Daniel Shalkey To: ROOTS Sent: Thursday, March 11, 2010 9:09 AM Subject: [roots] Post op problems Took this tooth out and curetted the socket. Patient has had trismus for a month, or so I thought, but today he told me on the phone he had a popping jaw prior to my surgery. So now he may have an anterior displaced disc, for a month!!! I am seeing him tomorrow. He also said he has numbness in the cheek and the "ear canal, but not in the lip. He did not have this problem the last time I saw him, only the limited opening. I am looking for any advice on what do do for this patient. - Daniel A. Shalkey, DDS
