@abbynp2004 Rhe ER is a better choice than urgent care. Your symptoms sounds like you dislocated your jaw. A common problem ER docs can fix but doubtful an Urgent Care primary care doc could or would fix this. Good luck.

Good point on the diff between ER and Urgent Care. I recently dislocated my hip and that required the attention of an ER Dr. Urgent Care would have sent me to the ER, wasting time.

Also, unless you have an immediate and life threatening need, like a heart attack, you will likely wait a long time. I did go to the ER for my hip dislocation (by way of 911), and had to wait nearly three hours in a lot of pain because - well hearts rightfully come before hips! But the ER Dr and two assistants finally got my hip back together.
