Can jaw pain be from something else?
Jaw pain can be caused by grinding and clenching your teeth which makes the jaw muscles tight. It can also be caused by an abscessed tooth so it’s a good idea to go to the dentist if you have persistent jaw pain. The dentist can check your bite and look for wear signs from grinding. It’s also a good idea to check out your muscles at the top of your shoulder as they can cause pain referral to the jaw.
