What could be the cause of pain of the the chin bone?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Many Things: Chin pain can be from your lower front teeth if they have long roots and they are infected. Any trauma to the area? There are muscle attachments that could be strained. Systemic (& bone) diseases could also affect the chin.
