I can&#8217;t decide if this is diet related or dental related?<\/p>\n<p>Carla T. &#8211; Georgia<\/p>\n<p>Carla,<\/p>\n<p>There are some conditions that are thought to be diet related and while, if you eat something that aggravated your jaw it can cause pain, diet will not cause the type of pain you&#8217;re describing. <\/p>\n<p>Because it&#8217;s stronger in the morning, and I suspect you probably get morning headaches as well. I&#8217;d look into night grinding and <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-tmj-dentist.html\">TMJ<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>See a dentist who&#8217;s received significant training in TMJ diagnosis and treatment. It&#8217;s not a recognized specialty, so a general dentist will have to put forth specific effort to receive the training. Don&#8217;t be shy about asking them where they studied TMJ. We&#8217;re not talking about where they studied in dental school. This needs to be post-graduate training. For instance, Dr. Delaune, studied at the Dawson Academy.<\/p>\n<p>If it turns out that you&#8217;re grinding your teeth at night, that would explain your jaw pain. A simple night guard should solve the problem.<\/p>\n<p>This blog is brought to you by <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\">Dr. Duane Delaune<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have pretty severe jaw pain, especially in the mornings.
