Go see a dentist or an oral surgeon. You could have any number of problems, the least of them being some sort of an infection in your jaw, TMJ-which is a problem with the joint in your jaw.
Reply:If you cannot sleep due to pain, you need to go see a doctor--in this case, a dentist.
Reply:I would go to the dentist because with the pain your experiencing, it should get checked out by a professional.
Reply:What's happening is your jaw is locking up when you're asleep. and when you open your mouth back up your jaw pops, which is making it hurt. ask you dentist, but yeah i'd say use a mouthpiece when you sleep from keeping your jaw from locking up.
