It is very common to experience both types
of pain. What the jaw pain that you
might feel is called templar mandibular
joint pain also know as tmj. This is
caused when you grind your teeth or if you
are feeling tense. With tension, it can
bring on all kinds of pain even headaches.
When I was 17, I had my jaw broken and
realigned which from time to time causes
the tmj pain as well. A few years ago I
went to my dentist and told her about the
pain that I was experiencing along with
the constant headaches and she made me a
bite plate to be worn while I am sleeping.
You may not even be aware that you grind
your teeth while you are sleeping. Next
time you are at the dentist, ask them to
check it out for you. There may be signs
that you do grind them by certain places
that are more worn down more than others.

Thank you very much for your reply, I have
read about tmj and visited the board on
here and sometimes wondered if I may have
it!

I am just replying to your problem with
your jaw, and I have exactly the same
prablem. About 10 months ago I was
suffering really badly with an aching jaw
and face and every time I had this I had a
headache or a migraine at the same time.
One day I mentioned this to my boyfriend
who is a dental technician and he said it
was definately something called
'broocsism' which is where you grind your
teeth at night whilst asleep. Your
dentist will be able to tell whether you
have this straight away just my looking at
your back teeth because you probably will
have worn them down slightly. I was given
something called a soft splint or a mouth
guard and this helps me a lot. My jaw
hardly ever aches now and I have less
headaches. My advice would be to go to
your dentist straight away and get them to
check it out. They will do x rays and all
sorts. They will then take a mold of your
teeth and make you a splint which only
takes a few days. Oh by the way my
dentist tried to rip me off by saying I
needed a hard splint which cost around
£350 and I knew that was wrong cause my
boyfrind makes them for a living and they
normally cost around £25, so dont let
your dentist rip you off. :lol:
