Masticatory Myalgia treatment in Puebla

Masticatory myalgias are pains that affect the muscles responsible for chewing, that is, those that move the jaw when eating, speaking, or opening and closing the mouth.

Common causes: They are usually related to clenching or grinding of the teeth, tension, bite problems, or overuse of the jaw muscles.

Common symptoms: These may include pain or fatigue in the area of the cheeks and temples, a sense of tension when chewing, and, at times, difficulty opening the mouth fully.

Who evaluates it? The dentist is the one who studies this type of discomfort related to the jaw and the bite. If pain when chewing recurs, a dental checkup helps to better identify the origin of the problem.
