Painful jaw

[Myflowers2]

Does anyone have a painful jaw not the salvia gland but jaw with sjogrens ?

Before I was diagnosed with Sjögren’s, years ago , I had severe pain my jaw , my dentist initially thought I was clenching my teeth at night. I tried a guard but it made no difference.

I was eventually diagnosed with Sjögren’s and the pain was actually being caused by fluid buildup in parotid gland. If I feel the pain coming on I massage my face and this helps, if I don’t do this i can end up looking like a hamster and can also lead to infection.

Your dentist might be able to give advice.
