It is not normal to experience a high level of discomfort when chewing or biting. If you or your child is experiencing pain while eating, you may want to seek the opinion of your dentist or local orthodontic provider.
Pain while chewing can be an indicator of various dental or orthodontic issues like gum disease, tooth decay, dry mouth, tooth loss, or malocclusion.
Your orthodontist will evaluate your teeth and mouth to find the source of your discomfort and recommend proper treatment.
