Many adults we see here at Weaver Dentistry suffer from chronic jaw and facial pain. Some common symptoms they experience include pain in or around the ear, tenderness of the jaw, pain when biting, and even headaches. Dr. Gregory Weaver and our team note that many things can cause facial pain, so it can be difficult to diagnose and treat.
Possible causes of jaw pain or facial pain include:
- Sinus problems
- Toothache
- Infections
- Arthritis
- Injury
- Tooth grinding
- Periodontal (gum) disease
- Problems with your jaw or the temporomandibular joint
If you suffer from jaw pain or facial pain, we encourage you to give Weaver Dentistry a call to schedule a visit with Dr. Gregory Weaver. During your first visit, we will conduct a thorough exam, which may include X-rays, to determine the cause of the issue.
