Many people suffer from chronic jaw pain. When experiencing jaw pain you will have possible discomfort around or in the ear, tenderness in your jaw, pain when biting down or headaches. All these symptoms of jaw pain can be the direct cause of toothaches, infections, tooth grinding, problems with your temporomandibular joint (TMJ), and a ton of other reasons. If you are currently suffering from jaw pain, speak with your dentist or physician to find a proper treatment for your diagnosis.

Botox! Botox! Botox!! It is a great treatment for jaw pain associated with subconscious grinding or clenching of the teeth. The muscles can be treated with Botox to help with the clenching and grinding. Patients tend to be non-compliant when it comes to wearing a night guard for prevention and treatment, so Botox tends to be a better treatment. Plus, why not add a little for those frown lines as well?
