Ok, I'm a nurse, but I specialize in pediatrics.and I'm not a know it all kinda person.and I'm a bad patient, I wait till it's just more than I can handle before I do anything about it. So since I'm not God, or a doctor, here's my delima: I have pain in my right lower jaw, aching, tenderness when swallowing, opening my mouth, havent tried chewing, it even hurts to move my tongue.

pain radiation to my right ear. My question is, do I see my family doc as my ears are popping alittle like they have sinus pressure, or do I see my dentist for something else, actually dental related? I'm taking motrin w/out relief.

feels like I've been hit with one good clock to my jaw, but it's non-injury. Any ideas? Thanks!

My friends are all taking CNA classes so when they get out of high school they have a decent paying job while going to college.I want to find something like that.but I'm not really into being a CNA.my friend was talking about other jobs you could do and the one I was most interested in is a dental hygienist.does anyone know if you could do the same type of program?
