Jaw Pain Relief

While most people will make an appointment with a dentist over tooth, mouth, or gum pain, not everyone realizes that jaw pain might also signal that dental care is required. A joint disorder may cause referred pain to other portions of the face and neck.

The sensitive endodontic tissue inside teeth can become inflamed or infected, which leads to pain in several locations, including the jaw. There are other painful symptoms that patients should be aware of:

• Chipped or broken teeth
• Severe sensitivity to cold or hot temperatures
• Swelling or tenderness near an infected tooth
• Tooth decay
• The need for repeated dental procedures on a particular tooth

These and other symptoms can indicate an endodontic concern. Infected teeth can be treated with a root canal or another endodontic procedure. These procedures help preserve the natural tooth and bring about pronounced pain relief.
