Pain In Your Jaw And Teeth Can Be Caused By Muscles

I have heard horror stories about people having teeth removed because they were painful.  But the problem is that the teeth were innocent!

After the tooth or teeth were pulled, the people still had tooth pain.  The teeth were removed but the original cause of the pain wasn’t treated.

There is a strap-like muscle that attaches your lower jaw to your upper jaw.  It allows you to chew and clench your teeth.  It is called the massater.  There is one on each side of your face.

When the massater develops trigger points (hyper-irritable areas of muscle that cause pain) it feels like the pain is in your teeth!

If you have pain on the top and bottom teeth on one whole side of your mouth there is a very good chance that the massater muscle is to blame.

Here’s the treatment:
