A member asked:
Why is my jaw tight and painful?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscle pain: Tightness in jaw muscles can be due to a few reasons such as muscle dysfunction or a neurological problem. I would speculate its muscle pain rather than anything wrong. You can find an orofacial pain dentist (www.Aaop.Org) for consultation if your problem has been going on for too long.
