Jaws are an interesting part of the body.

Moreover, they can also hurt if clenched too hard or too much.

The jaw is particularly interesting because it can hurt as a whole or in segments.

Jaw spasms can come from many origins, including the interaction between the body and certain medications.

Still, there are several other factors that can lead to jaw spasms.

Head trauma can also begin causing jaw twitches, too.

However and this is the worst-case scenario face spasms can occur without any apparent cause.

While this is the most unfortunate possibility, it’s a real one, and should be taken seriously.

In any case, what may seem like innocent twitches may actually lead to something much worse.

These should be taken seriously and examined as soon as one is able to.
