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 just returned from living in Mexico for three years. While the dentists in Mexico are well qualified (mine worked in Tucson, AZ, for six years), their facilities are somewhat lacking if you are in a small town.I went in for an exam and cleaning. I suspected a couple of problems, but didn't say much before the exam. The dental assistant did a thorough job of taking the x-rays on equipment I have not seen before. The dentist confirmed my suspicions and gave me a treatment plan.Most impressive was Nick the dental hygienist. I have never had such a cleaning before! He even anesthetized my gums before starting to make sure I did not experience any undue discomfort. He went over the treatment plan with me, and I was very clear how to proceed in the coming weeks and months. I highly recommend Placerville Dental Group for your dental care.
