Jaw Pain

Jaw pain

Pain the jaw is often attributed to stress, but is often a sign of a more serious and chronic neuromuscular dentistry problem. TMJ can cause intense jaw pain that can last for quite a long time. The pain might come and go over long periods of time, or might be constant. Some people may experience pain after certain activities, such as first thing in the morning, after eating, or at the end of the day. Jaw pain can lead to tension headaches, facial pain, ear pain, or pain in the eyes, and thus should be treated right away, before the pain and tension has a chance to spread.
