What can i do to reduce pain when chewing?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Pain With Chewing: Pain with chewing is often caused by TMJ dysfunction, or pain in the jaw near the ear. An anti-inflammatory drug such as Ibuprofen or naprosyn (naproxen) should be helpful. Occasionally, a mouth guard can be molded by your dentist to give you added relief.
