Jaw pain can be alarming and debilitating. Whether it's on the right side, left side, or both — the cause often lies in dental issues that need professional attention. At Dental Essential in Panvel, we accurately diagnose and treat the root cause of your jaw pain.
Common Causes of Jaw Pain
•Impacted wisdom tooth — the most common cause in young adults
•TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) disorder — causing clicking, locking, or pain
•Tooth abscess or infection — spreading pain to the jaw area
•Teeth grinding (Bruxism) — often occurs during sleep
•Gum disease — advanced periodontitis affecting jawbone
When Jaw Pain Needs Urgent Attention
See a dentist immediately if you have jaw pain with swelling, difficulty opening or closing your mouth, pain radiating to the ear or temple, or numbness in the jaw or face.
Treatment Options
Depending on the cause, treatment may include wisdom tooth extraction, TMJ therapy, night guards for teeth grinding, root canal for infected teeth, or antibiotics for infection. Our comprehensive approach ensures we treat the cause, not just the symptoms.
