What Causes Jaw Pain—and How We Treat It
Jaw pain can stem from multiple sources: teeth grinding, TMJ dysfunction, sinus pressure, clenching, or trauma. We’ll assess your jaw joint, bite, and surrounding structures to find the cause. Depending on what we find, we may recommend bite adjustment, nightguard therapy, or referral for further care—all explained clearly and gently.
You’ll never be rushed or dismissed—we’ll take your pain seriously and act quickly to help.

You’ll leave with relief, a plan, and peace of mind.

Why Jaws Hurt: Common Causes
- Bruxism (clenching/grinding): overloads muscles and joints, often worse on waking.
- Gingivitis/periodontitis: inflammation can radiate as jaw discomfort.
- Tooth decay/infection: abscesses or deep caries can trigger sharp, spreading pain.
- Osteomyelitis: jaw bone infection—severe pain, swelling, fever; requires urgent care.
- Bite misalignment & habits: uneven chewing, malocclusion, or past trauma strain the TMJ.
Typical signs include pain that worsens with chewing, temperature sensitivity, swelling/redness, clicking/popping, or limited opening.
Safe Relief Before You’re Seen (Do/Don’t)
Do: limit jaw motion, choose soft foods, apply a cold compress 10–15 minutes, keep the head slightly elevated, and relax the jaw (avoid clenching).
Don’t: self-medicate without guidance, apply heat if swelling/infection is possible, chew hard foods, press/massage firmly, or attempt “home fixes.”
Jaw Pain While Chewing—Why It Matters
Chewing amplifies muscle load and joint compression. Ignoring pain can lead to chronic dysfunction, joint inflammation/arthrosis, facial asymmetry, sleep disturbance, and pain spreading to the ear, neck, or temple. Early evaluation at Emergency Dentist Boston helps prevent escalation.
