10 Cavity Symptoms
Symptom #10: Jaw Pain
The jaw is a muscle-packed piece of biological machinery that is ideal for the job of biting and grinding food. The muscles operating the jawbone help the jawbone to exert the forces we need to be able to break up our food. If something goes wrong inside the mouth, though, then the jaw can feel it.
Pain caused by cavities can radiate out through the jawbone, causing you to feel pain along the jaw itself. Decayed teeth can also affect the way you eat which could put added pressure on the jawbone and muscles, adding to any pain. If your jaw is hurting then you should make an appointment to see a dentist.
