Jaw Pain

If you are experiencing regular or excessive jaw pain, it is important to alleviate discomfort and then to address any underlying issues. The Placerville Dental Group recommends the following:

  1. Apply a cold or warm compress to the jaw area for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Try to keep the jaw in a relaxed and neutral position.
  3. Take ibuprofen or acetaminophen to help reduce the pain and inflammation.
  4. Consult a dentist as soon as possible. Jaw pain can be a sign of more than just a toothache. An abscess, a tumor, or a life-threatening infection may be implicated. Getting a diagnosis promptly is very important.

Broke a piece off a rear tooth over the weekend. Placerville Dental group fit me in Thursday, first thing, since I didnt have any pain. I thought they would pull it, but the Dr. suggested a crown. In 2.5 hours I have a temporary and in 2 weeks I get the permanent crown. BTW: this is a new dentist for me as I had not selected a new dentist since moving to Placerville. I now have one. thanks PDG.
