What Causes Mild Pain Below My Lower Jaw?

I am feeling a subtle pain in my bottom rear jaw and down into the glands below. When I bend over to put a shoe on or pick something up, the pain is worse coming back up. I thought I may be getting an abscessed tooth, but have no pain at all in the tooth area and no sensitivity in that area either. The pain started yesterday and has not gotten worse, but has not gone away. Should I be concerned?

Hello

The most common cause for pain in the jaw is likely to be a ntdeal infection and i would like you to meet your dentist for a check up. Many times there may not be pain in the tooth area , but the there still can be an infection. Please dont worry , you will be fine.

Take care!
