Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

As per your complain the feeling or pressure on jaw muscles can be related to jaw joint and disturbance in its function can cause such feeling..

Along with it dryness in mouth or gums can be due to reduced salivation which can be due to salivary gland disorder..

Please provide the following details so that I can guide you better..

1.D o you have pain in opening or closing the mouth or chewing?
2.Do you have clicking sound when opening and closing the mouth?
3.Do you have any medical problems or are you on any ?
4.As you have gone to doctor what did the doctor tell you and what treatment he gave you?

If you have any x rays done please upload scans .
