What doctor should i see for pain when i chew?
4 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Dentist: Pain with chewing is usually related to TMJ or the tempero-mandibular joint. This is the hinge joint that allows the jaw to open and close. A dentis can usually diagnose the problem and may refer you to an ENT doctor or a maxillo-facial sugeon.
