Problems with the jaw could also be called a dysfunction of the joint. These are the symptoms:

 

• Pain in the jaw joint itself

• Difficult to open the mouth

• Problems and pain in the jaw and the temple regions when chewing

• Click sounds

• Corresponding pain in ear, face or headache

 

The causes for jaw problems will vary. The most common causes are:

• Stress

• Strained jaw muscle

• Whiplash

• Incorrect tooth position

• Arthrosis

 

It is not unusual to wake up in the morning with jaw myalgia from grinding the teeth or open wide the mouth during sleep.

 

What you can do yourself:

• Cool down the painful area – not more than 15 minutes at a time

• Avoid open wide your mouth to eat, and drop the chewing gum.
