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.
