What’s wrong with biting things that hurt around the temples?

The phenomenon of pain around the temple when biting something may be caused by temporomandibular joint disorder, or it may be caused by neurogenic headache or endodontitis and other factors.
1. Temporomandibular joint disorder: the chewing muscles are damaged due to trauma, mental stress and night grinding of teeth, which may cause pain around the temples when biting something, and it may be accompanied by abnormal noise in the joint area and impaired movement of the jaw.
2. Neurogenic headache: it refers to the headache caused by the contraction of scalp muscles or fascia due to nerve tension, and hard chewing can also lead to pain in and around the temples.
3. Pulpitis: If the body suffers from pulpitis, it can lead to radiating pain on the same side of the temple and pain around the temple when biting something.
If the above symptoms occur, it is recommended to identify the cause of the disease and actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment.
