What doctor to see for jaw pain?
My jaw has been clicking and hurting a lot, especially when I chew or yawn. Sometimes it even locks up a little. Who is the right doctor to consult for this kind of jaw pain?

Dentist ke paas jao pehle toh. Agar teeth grinding ya wisdom tooth ka issue hai, toh dentist hi check karega na. Just go get a checkup done, tension mat lo.

For jaw pain, seeing a dentist first is very helpful. I tried warm salt water rinses and clove oil, which gave mild relief, but the dentist found it was a hidden tooth cavity causing the entire jaw to ache.

I had severe jaw pain last year and went to a dentist. Turned out I was clenching my jaw at night due to stress, so they gave me a mouth guard to wear. Start with a dentist, they'll guide you.

Don't try chewing raw cloves or applying random balms on your face based on internet advice. Jaw pain can be due to dental issues, TMJ disorder, or even sinus. Go to a qualified dentist first for an X-ray.
