Jaw pain affects a significant proportion of the population in Denmark. There are several factors and causes that can cause jaw pain, and the consequences of this pain can have a significant impact on daily life for most people.

Causes of jaw pain can range from temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD), bruxism (teeth grinding), muscular tension and stress to trauma or infection in the jaw area.
