The majority of adults go through the troubles of facial pain and chronic jaw pain. The most common symptoms of jaw pain are tenderness of the jaw, pain in and around the ear, headaches, and pain eating. There are several causes of jaw pain which makes the problem even worse. Sometimes jaw pain can be challenging to diagnose and treat.

To find out the cause of the pain, you would have to set up an appointment with your Sterling Heights dentist. Dr. Fadi Farhat will most likely perform an X-ray and examine your mouth thoroughly.
