Persistent jaw pain should not be ignored, as it can be a symptom of serious dental conditions and cause damage to the oral tissue.
Key takeaways:
– Jaw pain may be caused by cavities, gum disease, and teeth abscesses.
– Some of the conditions listed above require urgent treatment.
– Jaw pain can also be caused by teeth grinding, which must be treated asap.
Because it’s better to be safe than sorry, book an appointment with your dentist if jaw pain doesn’t resolve on its own.
