The most common causes are jaw joint problems (TMJ), tooth infection, gum infection, or muscle strain. Symptoms can include pain near the ear or jaw, clicking sound while opening the mouth, difficulty opening the mouth fully, swelling, headache, or pain while chewing. Sometimes stress and teeth grinding can also cause jaw pain. If the pain is mild, it may settle on its own. If pain, swelling, or mouth opening problem continues, it is better to visit a dentist for proper check-up.”
