Tongue/jaw pain: Hello, discomfort in the tongue and jaw usually comes from an irritation to the mucosal lining. Do you smoke? Use alcohol? Has the pain been present longer than 1week? It's a good idea to see your family doctor or an ent. They will help to identify a reason for your pain.

Tongue/jaw pain: This is most likely an infected tooth or periodontal (gum) infection. However, this can also be symptomatic of oral cancer (do you smoke or dip). Jaw and toothache pain can also be associated with a heart attack. Check with your dentist, and if there are no dental problems, then see you medical doctor.
