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:

Apply a cold or warm compress to the jaw area for 10-15 minutes.
Try to keep the jaw in a relaxed and neutral position.
Take ibuprofen or acetaminophen to help reduce the pain and inflammation.
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.

Patient Success Stories

Brad Callejo

Had to get an emergency extraction basically, had severe, unbearable toothache that had been going on for days. Most dental offices don’t have an oral surgeon or dentists that will perform extractions or root canals on site. This place offered 24/7 phone calls, I was able to make an appt before they were open, then went in and got an extraction. Very smooth and fast operation compared to the other couple of places I’ve been to.
