sometimes it may be due to impacted third molar. Make an appointment with your dentist . Your dentist may also examine head, neck, face and jaw to see if there is any tenderness. Eat soft food so you don't have to chew food too long. stop wide yawning ,chewing gumsnd biting nails .Stop any habits, such as clenchingyour jaw or grinding your teeth.
