Very painful jaw when i eat

[sweetgrape]

Its come on very suddenly today. When ever i eat anything, the right side of my jaw, right up to my ear is very painful. Anyone had this?

Hi Sweetgrape, been there done it... the first time it was an infected root canal, the next time it was due to grinding and having 'overexercised' my jaw muscles.

I'd recommend seeing your dentist if it doesn't go away in the next couple of days.

Thank you MrsbigD
