WHAT ARE THE
CAUSES
OF JAW PAIN

TMJ can be caused by a couple of things

The actual jaw joint can have the same problems knees and shoulders can. This joint can wear out meaning when you use it, it can cause pain. Simply chewing or opening your mouth will cause discomfort. If the joint continues to wear out there can be a popping.

The other problem can be if you clinch or brux your teeth at night. This will put extra pressure through the jaw and create discomfort.
