Any kind of pain may bring discomfort in anyone’s life. What more if the discomfort is due to jaw pain?   Our jaw is one of the most important parts of our body because it supports our oral function.   When you have jaw pain, chewing or even opening mouth is really a struggle.   Strained jaw muscles, tooth pain due to growing wisdom teeth, grinding of the teeth while asleep and temporomandibular joint disorder are the causes of this condition.

This condition is not that alarming when you try to look at it but sometimes when it is accompanied by other symptoms like swelling, cut and bruises on the jawbone or jaw point and the throbbing runs through your cheeks and face then that is another medical condition called trigeminal neuralgia. But anyway, before we gone further, mild jaw pain can be treated by home remedies.

Below are some ways on how to get rid of it:

• Apply cold and hot compress on the affected areas. Alternating the temperature on your jaw muscles can relieve the muscle tension and promote proper blood circulation. It can heal muscle sore.
• Try some jaw massage. Kneading is a massage technique used for this condition. It relaxes the tensed muscle around the area. Massage gently on the surface to relieve you from the hurt.
