Although is some cases this pain is only mild it can become extremely irritating, particularly if it is persistent.If you're suffering from TMJ pain, even if it is only a very mild pain then it is often wise to have it checked out by your doctor or dentist as it can sometimes be indicative of a more serious problem.

One of the most common causes of TMJ pain is poorly aligned teeth. If the jaw does not sit correctly due to the arrangement of the teeth then pain will sometimes occur in the jaws. This problem can usually be corrected fairly easily by a dentist and in most cases the TMJ pain will not persist. Some people who suffer from TMJ pain will often take painkillers to try and subdue the pain. However this is only a short term solution and if the pain is persistent it is very important to get in touch with your doctor or dentist rather than simply using painkillers to ignore it. Chewing habits such as constant nail biting or teeth grinding are one of the most prominent causes of TMJ pain.
