I've been waking up with painful jaws, lately. what could be the cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Often clench: Often jaw clenching or teeth grinding at night contributes to sore jaws in the morning. Less often it is related to sinus or teeth issues, because generally you would have more symptoms during the day if that was the case.
