TMJ Treatment

Do any of these sound familiar?

• Pain or tenderness in your face, jaw, neck, or around the ear when you chew, speak, or open your mouth wide
• A clicking, popping, or grating sound when you chew and/or open or close your mouth
• Jaws that lock in the open position
• The feeling as if your teeth do not fit together properly when the mouth is closed
• A tired feeling in your face
• Toothaches, headaches, ringing in the ears, or hearing problems

All of these can be related to one part of the body: the Temporomandibular Joint. This hinge joint connects the jaw to the temporal bones of the skull to allow the jaw to move up and down and side to side so that you can chew, speak, and yawn. Many people have issues with this joint, and while some find that their issues result from injury or teeth grinding, most people do not have a specific cause for this painful disorder.
