Jaw pain in San\nMarco can be extremely disruptive and prevent you from living a full life, and\nyou\u2019ll definitely want to have it treated before it gets worse. But what caused\nthe pain in the first place? There are many different factors \u2013 such as the\nsinuses, the teeth, and the actual jaw \u2013 that could contribute to the condition,\nand it can sometimes be difficult to narrow down the exact cause. Here are just\n4 possible reasons behind the constant discomfort in your jaw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. TMJ and Muscle Disorder<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most jaw pain is caused by a TMJ disorder. TMJ stands for \u201ctemporomandibular\njoint\u201d; you have one TMJ on either side of your head (just in front of the ear)\nthat connects the mandible to the rest of the skull. You\u2019re very likely to\nexperience significant pain if there\u2019s some kind of problem with your TMJ. This\ncan include an injury to the joint or the nearby muscles, excessive tension, a\ndisplaced disc (which would normally serve as a cushion whenever you move your\nmouth), and arthritis. You might also damage your TMJ if you grind or clench\nyour teeth at night. Fortunately, a dentist in San Marco can help relieve your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brotmandental.com\/tmj-tmd-therapy.html\">TMJ disorder<\/a> with\nan occlusal splint or another facial pain treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Tooth Pain<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Untreated tooth decay will eventually reach the point of\ndental abscess. Pus collects inside the tooth and leads to a toothache.\nHowever, the pain won\u2019t be contained to the tooth itself; the infection will\neventually spread to the jaw, leading to further discomfort. Obviously, in this\nsituation you\u2019ll want to visit your dentist so that they can perform root canal\ntherapy or an extraction to stop the damage from getting any worse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Sinus Problems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because the sinus cavity is so close to the jaw joint, a\nproblem in one can easily affect the other. When the sinuses become infected,\nthere tends to be a buildup of mucus. The additional pressure can easily lead\nto jaw discomfort. Obviously, the best way to handle this type of jaw pain is\nto have the infection examined and treated appropriately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Cluster Headaches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you suffer from multiple headaches in rapid succession,\nthe pain normally occurs behind or around the eyes. However, it might also\nreach the jaw under the right circumstances. In most cases, both forms of\ndiscomfort can be lessened with pain medication. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may not be able to distinguish between the different\ntypes of jaw pain on your own, which is why you should seek out a more precise\ndiagnosis. Once the cause has been identified, you can look forward to finding\nrelief in the near future!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About the Author<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Sol G.
