Jaw Pain: 6 ways of relieving the pain

February 12, 2015General dentistry, Oral Health, Penrith Dentist Sydney, Preventive DentistryBy Dr Frank Meshkani (dentist)

There are number of reasons why you happened to experience jaw pain. Some of these are due to arthritis, fractures, misalignments, dental abscess and TMD or temporomandibular joint disorder. Jaw pain may occur unexpectedly or develop over time. It symptoms may include dizziness, ear pain, fever, headache, tooth pain, tongue numbness and a lot more.

Severe cases of jaw pain may include symptoms such as chest pain, breathing complication, difficulty in swallowing, locked jaw, nausea and vomiting. Sometimes, pain in the jaw is triggered by some dental conditions such as dry socket, impacted tooth and tooth decay. In other cases, jaw pain could be a symptom of life-threatening health conditions like heart attack and oral cancer.

Talk to your dentist or physician when you notice the early signs of jaw pain. Consult your dental care partners here at Penrith Dental Clinic and we can help you to be well informed about the condition. Through performing a thorough exam, we can find the best treatment for you so you can have better oral health for life.

Friendly, informative and professional.It was my first experience of needing a tooth filling. To reduce the anxiety of the experience Dr Soltani provided comfort in explaining the steps through the process. There was no pain during the procedure and something that felt really scary ended up being a simple process. That’s how you know you have found a great dentist!The only helpful feedback to provide would be to provide mouth wash at the end of the process instead of water. Overall a great experience.

I am so grateful to the team at Penrith Dental Clinic from their service both over the phone and the helpful and friendly service face to face. Sabrina was amazing with my four children and made them all feel very comfortable and relaxed during their check up. The team are all amazing and so helpful from start to finish. My five year old now has a new best friend and can’t wait to come back for our next visit! ;-) thank you all for being so lovely and welcoming.

This was the first time our little girl has been to the dentist. She was very nervous and anxious. From our very first contact at the front desk, the receptionist was very reassuring and tried to ease her fears about seeing Dr Azadi. Dr Azadi and her assistant were very attentive to her and did not just rush through the procedure. They took time to explain things to me, and then to my daughter so that she knew exactly what they were going to do and reassured her that they would stop whenever she needed a break. They were also very encouraging and reassuring throughout the entire procedure. By the end, my daughter was happy and she was even eager to go back for her follow up appointment. I highly recommend Penrith Dental Clinic!

My partner an I have had an extraordinary teeth whitening service from Penrith Dental. We were first hesitant with the in-chair cost however we had sought professionalism and simplicity. We thankfully received both and are happy with their services. Particular health care services may also cover some expenses!~Quick pro tip~Bring some Panadol and headphones while waiting for the process of whitening to be completed.
