Suggest Treatment For Jaw Pain And Clenching After Dental Procedure

I've had a lot of dental work done from June to August this year. 3 crowns on my left side & that's where my pressure stems from. My last procedure was august 14 & I'm still have severe throbbing in my jaw & daily headaches. My dentist said that it would take time for my nerves to calm but the pain in consistent & sometimes unbearable. I also grind at night & suffer from stress related TMJ. I wear a night guard & take 2-6 Advil daily but it's not helping at all. I've never experienced this kind of pain from dental work before. Any other advice on how to minimize my pain & clenching at night?

Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM

Read your query as you have pain in teeth after dental treatment and crown placement this pain can be due to some reason that can be infection present in treated tooth and as you have history of clenching also cause pain and tmj disorder but dont worry I will suggest you to dont take so much stress , stress is one of the main reason for clenching and tmj disorder .
For this I will suggest you to do warm saline rinses two - three times a day and wear nightguard regularly . Inmeantime you can take analgesic like ketrol dt or diclomol by consulting with your local doctor .
Consult dentist for examination of oral cavity , investigations iopa xray of painful region to rule out the cause of pain .

Hope this will help you.
