A member asked:
I have a jaw pain on my right side?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Jaw pain: It is most likely TM joint arthritis. This can be due to many causes. Malocclusion of the teeth can lead to this. Try eating soft foods for a week or two and see if it improves.

Jaw pain: Joint dysfunction? Infection? muscle/ligament damage? Malocclusion? Parafunctional has it? So many possibilities. Treatment should be aimed at addressing the cause rather than masking the symptoms. See your Dentist to begin the diagnostic process.
