Low level jaw pain

[kevin123]

Just wondered if I should be concerned about some low level jaw pain on my left side. I can still eat and drink with no problem. Is it likely to get worse? Any advice appreciated.

If you have mild jaw pain but can still eat and drink comfortably, there’s usually no need to worry. Try applying a warm compress and avoid hard or chewy foods for a few days.

Could be related to grinding. If it continues, see your dentist to rule out any other possible causes as well.

Very helpful replies. It seems a bit better today which I hope continues...
