Neuromuscular Dentistry/TMJ

Do you often have headaches? Does your jaw always feel tender and painful? You may have TMJ.

Is your jaw causing you pain or discomfort? Well, the culprit could very well be TMJ. Also known as temporomandibular joint disorder, TMJ is a jaw condition that can cause various painful symptoms.

Jaw pain isn’t something that should be taken lightly. It can be a debilitating issue that impacts your ability to perform daily tasks.

Jaw pain and headaches are among the most well-known symptoms that arise from jaw joint problems. However, other issues caused by temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) may surprise you. For example, this condition can cause sudden feelings of dizziness and spinning.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder is a complex problem. The pain and discomfort associated with this condition may not be the same every day. Many people find that their TMD symptoms get better and then come back. It is also common to have TMJ flare-ups.

If you frequently grind or clench your teeth, you likely have a condition known as bruxism. While mild bruxism may not require treatment, severe bruxism can negatively impact the health of your teeth and jaw.

Bruxism is often related to temporomandibular joint disorder (known as TMJ or TMD). Temporomandibular joint disorder is a painful condition that occurs when the jaw joint is misaligned.
