Not all jaw pain is "just stress."
A few signs it's worth getting checked:
β Pain that lingers, even after a day or two of rest
β Clicking or popping when you open and close
β Pain that spreads toward your ear
Left alone, these can point to TMJ dysfunction, an impacted tooth, or an infection. The earlier it's checked, the simpler the fix usually is.
If your jaw pain isn't going away, OFIS Monterey can help you figure out why. Call (831) 884-5141 or visit https://www.ofiscm.com to schedule an evaluation.
