Does Your Jaw Ache?

circle1 yellow plain

When an aching jaw is due to a dental rather than a medical condition, there are a few likely suspects that are causing the problem.

Bruxism, or teeth grinding, is the most common cause of an aching jaw, but other causes include:

– Tooth abscess

– Cavity

Gum disease

Abscesses, cavities and even gum disease (when caught early) require treatment by the dentist. Bruxism will require long-term care including fitting a mouthguard to be worn during sleep.

In some cases, acupuncture can be used as a method to alleviate grinding. Hypnosis can also be effective for some patients.
