If you suffer from TMJ Pain, our professional and experienced team is here to provide immediate relief.
TMJ is the acronym for temporomandibular joint. This is the joint that connects your lower jaw to your skull. If you place your fingers just in front of your ears and open your mouth, you’ll feel the TMJ on each side of your head. The TMJ allows you to move your jaw up and down and side to side, so you can talk, chew, and yawn. You have TMJ on both sides of your head, but pain in only one joint is more common. When both joints are involved, it’s called bilateral TMJ disorder. However, any type of problem with either joint is commonly referred to as TMJ.

What are the Symptoms of TMJ Pain?
If the muscles and ligaments around these joints are not able to work together correctly, it can cause pain in the TMJ region. This is called TMJ dysfunction or TMJ syndrome. There are a variety of symptoms that may be associated with TMJ pain, including:
Pain in the jaw, ear, face, neck, or shoulders
Headaches
Clicking or popping sounds when moving the jaw
Difficulty chewing or pain when chewing
Muscle spasms in the jaw or face
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, you should consult with a doctor or dentist to determine if you have TMJ dysfunction. Treatment options vary depending on the severity of the condition but may include exercises, splints or mouthguards, medication, and surgery.
