[|AI|]  Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain in the jaws can be because of the trauma or laceration or ulcers caused by the denture. The other possible cause can be because of the temporomandibular joint, which can be secondary to any causal problems in the denture. So consult an oral physician and get it evaluated. If it is a laceration or ulcer, you can use topical analgesics like choline salicylate. If it is problem with the denture it has to be corrected. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
