Are Jaw Tremors Related To Old Age?
My 60 year old husband started experiencing jaw tremors about 1 year ago. I have mentioned it to him but he does not realize it is happening. Could this be age related? or should I encourage him to have it checked out. He normally is very very healthy.

thanks for your query,
the uncoordinated jaw movements in aged individuals is common as the age advances the uncoordinated jaw movements can occur along with tremors of the hands..but it is most commonly seen in parkinson's disease and other neuromuscular disorders..consult a neurophysician if the tremors is too much..
