Is eating meat bad for the jaw?

Question

Everytime I eat steak, my jaw gets really sore for 2-3 days.

Answer 1

Maybe the steak is too tough, if you have to do a lot of chewing. Your jaw muscles may not be used to that much work.

If the pain is at the base of your teeth and not where the upper and lower jaws meet, you may have a dental problem. If your last check up was a few years ago, it might be a good idea to see a dentist
