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.

I had an emergency before a wedding. My partial fell out so I called them and they were able to take me in early in the morning. They took care of my eye tooth. They were very nice, very gentle, very kind. The staff was very friendly. I thank them very much, and I would highly recommend them. And my wife allowed me to smile for pictures...lol

Root canal. In spite of my anxiety, with the gentle voices and hands of Laura and Dr. M, I found my self dozing! I am a career "dentist" avoider which has landed me in more trouble that the avoidance was worth! No longer. This is the year of a complete, healthy mouth! Thank you to Placerville Dental Group for getting my butt in the chair and my mouth in order. ๐Ÿ™‚

This was the easiest dental appointment ever. From the front office to the back and everyone in between. Iโ€™m so glad I chose them. Looking forward to my next one if you can believe that and Iโ€™m deathly afraid of dentists.
