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.

Hands down the best experience I've had at the dentist. Staff was professional, kind, friendly, attentive, and efficient. I had an emergency and they were able to accommodate me the very next day even though it was my first appointment with them. They were amazingly flexible and I was able to get an initial x-ray, deep cleaning, fillings, and mouth guard fitting in the very same day. They are very transparent about the bill and they broke it down for me and explained everything. Incredible place. 1000% recommend!

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.
