Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
Jaw pain noticed when you are at rest may be due to dislocation or inflammation of jaws.
I would suggest you to visit an oral-maxillofacial surgeon and get a thorough clinical as well as x-ray evaluation done.
Complete course of analgesics along with muscle relaxants has to be administered.
Dislocated jaws has to be immobilized.
Inter maxillary fixation has to be done if necessary.
Hope this helps.
