Symptom Checker

Step 4: Read and complete the decision guide to learn more about your symptoms.

Jaw, Gum, or Tooth Pain

Hmm, alright. Your symptoms could be due to a filling that's a bit raised or a crown that's not fitting quite right so that when you bite, you are putting excessive pressure on that tooth. Fortunately, this is usually an easy thing to treat. See your dentist soon for evaluation!

Just one more question:

Do you take a medication for osteoporosis or other bone disease, such as alendronate (Fosamax), risedronate (Actonel), ibandronate (Boniva), or the intravenous medication zoledronic acid (Zometa or Reclast)?

Yes, I am taking one of those medicines.

No, I'm not taking one of those medicines.
