jaw issues can relate to neck and spine misallignments .. can check it out with a physio or chiropractor or something  jaw issues can lead to headaches all because the pressure and allignment are wrong !!

You're crown may need to be adjusted to your bite a bit more.  Call your dental office and explain to them what's going on.  They may want to check your bite and make sure it's not too tall.  They may also take an x-ray to make sure infection isn't present (root canals are 90% successful).  Good luck

See your doctor. Honestly. If you're noticing a compulsion to eat that's different than you normally feel, there could be an underlying cause for it. And hey, I'd feel better if you ask your doctor than some of the putzes that post answers here. :)

You may have heard of someone having"TMJ".It is correctly called Temporal Mandibular Joint syndrome.Your TMJ is a movable joint cushioned by a disc called the articular disc.Sometimes the ligament that holds the disc in place gets "stretched out" or in a bad position so it holds the disc loosely.The pop is the articular disc popping in front of the bones in the joint.This may be a bite or occlusion problem,please see your dentist.If the pop is accompanied by pain you may be starting to get destruction in the joint which may lead to surgery.Most times we can make a splint and adjust your bite to take pressure off the joint.Your dentist may refer you to an orthodontist or TMJ specialist.Jill dental hygienist

I have that problem when I'm anxious. It seems my mouth is ahead of my brain. Just relax, and you should be fine.

Its possible you could be experiencing bruxism, talk to your dentist, some peopple who are overly stressed or have parasites can have this.

I get this sometimes, but it's linked to my sinuses.\nI have allergies, and if they get bad, I'll get the aching in my jaw.\n\nNot a cavity if it's not around teeth.

It is inherited or premature loss of baby back teeth,\ncausing Lack of sufficient space in the jaw bone. Need either making space by tooth removal plus braces or Jaw bone surgery plus braces.\nSee you orthodontist.

sometimes, if we are chewing too fast, or have too much in our mouth.  It hurts a lot!  then you have to be careful, not to re-bite it...until it settles down. \n\nSlow down, and you can avoid chomping on your cheek or worse...the side of your tongue.

TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint. I have TMJ and I went to the dentist.  The reason I have this problem is because at night I clench my teeth (can also be caused from grinding), so I have mouthguard-like thing that I wear at night so that my jaw isn't completely clenched together. However, you should definitely get this checked out because it caused me to have bad headaches and also affected my ears.

See your doctor!  You could be reacting to something you eat.  \n"Or" you could have an internal infection in one of your organs, one of your organs could be compromised!\n\nGO AND SEE YOUR DOCTOR!!!!

yeah, it's your body using it's energy to digest the food instead of keeping you at a steady temperature.  espeically happens after i eat a lot.

You could be biting your heek or tongue. Things in your mouth heal really fast.

'Lockjaw' is tetanus and a headache would be the least of your problems.  It does, however, sound very much like TMJ, or Tempero-Mandibular Joint.  ?Does your jaw pop or make a noise when you chew or yawn?  Perhaps, you can ask your dentist.  Very best wishes....

My guess would be that your teeth are loose due to bone loss rather than a too long tongue.  There are usually periodontal problems present when adults have loose teeth.
