Jaw pain

Jaw pain is a common symptom that can range from mild to severe. It can be localized to the jaw joint or radiate to the face, neck, and shoulders. It can be a sharp, burning, or aching sensation that may be aggravated by chewing, talking, or yawning. Jaw pain can develop gradually or suddenly and can be triggered by stress, injury, infection, or grinding teeth. It can also be a symptom of a more serious condition such as temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ).
