Hey guys,
So I've lived here for a little while and I've had a couple of appointments at different places just fine – while my Japanese is good enough to get through most appointments, with the complexity of the issue I'm currently having, I feel like I'd be better off communicating with an English speaking doctor/dentist.
The main problem is, I don't know if my symptoms require a doctor or a dentist.
If anyone can recommend good places for either, that would be fantastic!
I'm also going to write my symptoms below, in case anyone can better advise where I'd need to go:
The right side of my jaw is in constant pain. Every time I chew or open my mouth, I can hear a horrible grating sound. Opening my mouth too wide results in ear pain and a loud popping sound. Often when I wake up in the morning, my right eye is hazy, and the back of my skull has a dull ache to it. The right side of my neck is often tight, and stretching my neck can leave me feeling dizzy or faint. In the UK, I'd normally ascribe most of these symptoms to a doctor or an orthodontist. I don't know which would be better here.
Thank you for your help guys.
