Why Does My Jaw Hurt When I Bite Down? - Temporo Mandibular Disorders

Why does your jar hurt when you bite down or feel sudden jaw pain? One of the big things we look at here at our practice is not only your teeth but your overall jaw system.

Your overall jaw system consists of 3 areas: your jaw joints (TMJ), your facial muscles that move your jaw up and down/left and right, and your teeth and bite. If your bite is off, your teeth are grinding, you feel clenching or if your face muscles are imbalanced, it can affect the joint. These issues can even cause an inflamed jaw joint too.

Do you feel pain near the ear? Is there pain on one side of your face? Do you hear a clicking sound when you chew?

Our dental clinic specialized in determining the symptoms; find the causes and provide the treatment needed to end the pain in your jaw.
