Jaw and Body Connection: When should I be concerned about jaw pain? An uneven jaw is a condition that needs attention because if it becomes severe, it can impact how you eat, breathe and even speak. It can also result in extreme discomfort and pain along with other health conditions. When referring to the jaw, the joint that is in question is the temporomandibular joint (or TMJ). In the condyle of that bone, you will find the meniscus which helps cushion and position the mandible while chewing or swallowing. When your jaw joint moves backward, the meniscus moves forward. How to get rid of jaw pain? In cases of jaw imbalances, the jaw joint moves unevenly on each side of the mouth causing one size to receive more tension than the other. This can cause the meniscus to suffer premature damage, leading to painful symptoms of temporomandibular disorder such as clicking jaw, jaw pain and ear ringing and postural misalignment. Got pain?
