A member asked:
Two months ago i hurt my right side jaw eating and it became very painful eating for days, today the pain is milder but its still uncomfortable?

Soft foods and heat: The pain that occurred while eating sounds like an inflammation or spasm of the jaw muscles. Simply, stay with soft foods and liquids. In addition use a warm moist compress to your face in the area of pain for 10-15 minutes 4-5 times a day.

TMJ dysfunction: The muscles and ligaments that cause your jaw to move are not working smoothly. A physical therapist may be able to help. If you chew gum stop. Eat softer foods next 2-3 weeks. Apply moist heat to the joint area. Stress plays a big role in triggering TMJ problems. Find activities to help reduce your stress level. See your dentist for more detailed help.
