See your dentist: If this is a recurring problem, you may be grinding your teeth at night. If this is new, there may be a gum or tooth problem in the affected area.

So I have an issue. Some of the back teeth in my lower jaw on the left side hurts if I chew down on food or if I brush my tongue on it. It happens for a day, stops for a few weeks, then picks back up. It's not a sharp pain, more like a dull pinching pain.
The side of my jaw hurts when I chew. Just change to soft food?
