TMJ Disorders

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders affect the joints that connect your jawbone to your skull, located just in front of your ears. These disorders can cause pain in the jaw, difficulty chewing, clicking or popping sounds when moving the jaw, and headaches. They may result from various factors, including jaw injuries, arthritis, teeth grinding, or stress. Treatment options include pain management, physical therapy, dental splints, or in some cases, surgery. If you experience persistent jaw pain or discomfort, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for proper assessment and management.
