Exclamation Water Dragon - Past Calcium Definciency or Current Problem?

Hello,
I aquired a water dragon through craigslist a few days ago. Previous owners said she had rubbed her nose badly when they first had her in a smaller glass aquarium but that it was healing up now. Also said that she was brownish when they bought her from the store. Probably, she wasn't to healthy at the pet store? She's very colorful now though.

Anyway, she has this scabby thing on her nose, but she also has a sort of deformed jaw. You can see her teeth even when her mouth is closed and the left side of her jaw sticks out to give the appearance of being slightly swollen. I'm assuming that this has to do with a past calcium definciency, but could it be a current problem?

She seems very healthy otherwise.

All advice/info appreciated.
