How come jaw pain is related to sarcoidosis?
6 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Connective tissue: Sarcoid is an auto-immune disease which can affect many tissue types. Attacks on the muscle or connective tissue of the jaws can be associated with jaw pain. It can involve the facial muscles of chewing and expression, the TMJ and the saliva glands.

TMJ: The reason you have jaw pain could be caused by your temporal mandibular joint and if that is the case warm moist heat will help. Swollen lymph nodes from your sarcoidosis could be causing the pain or salivary gland inflammation from your sarcoidosis could be another cause.

Perhaps: It may or may not be related in your case. You may have jaw pain unrelated to your condition. See a dentist or oral surgeon to sort things out.
