Understanding What May Cause Orofacial Pain
Orofacial pain can include a number of clinical problems which involves your chewing muscles or temporomandibular joint. Problems can include temporomandibular joint discomfort, muscle spasms in the head, neck and jaw, migraines, cluster or frequent headaches, or pain with the teeth, face or jaw.
Some people may experience pain in the ears, eyes, sinuses, cheeks or side of the head, while others experience clicking when moving the jaw or even locking if the jaw is opened or closed. If you are feeling these systems you should speak to your dentist.
