There are many factors that can cause discomfort in the joints of your jaw. It is best to seek the help of your dentist for an accurate diagnosis.

You may be experiencing some pain in the jaw muscles. See a dentist for a consultation and if there is a need to see a specialist regarding the pain and a diagnosis.
