Facial Pain

This tension can spread to other areas of the face, causing discomfort and pain around the cheeks, temples, and even the ears. In some cases, the constant strain on these muscles can result in persistent, throbbing facial pain that makes everyday activities like talking or chewing uncomfortable.

Symptoms of TMJ-Related Facial Pain

TMJ-related facial pain can appear in a variety of ways, including:

• A constant burning or aching sensation in the face, particularly around the jaw or ears
• Pain that worsens with jaw movement, such as talking or chewing
• Tenderness in the jaw muscles or difficulty opening and closing your mouth
• Clicking or popping sounds in the jaw
• Pain spreads to the neck or shoulders
