TMJ Symptoms
TMD usually presents as chronic facial pain near the ears or jaw that doesn’t respond to paracetamol alone.
The team at Signature Dentistry understand the pain that dental problems can cause and are dedicated to helping patients find relief.
Email Address
The temporomandibular joint is what connects your jaw to your skull, located in the area right in front of your ears.
This allows you to open and close your mouth. When a person has a TMJ disorder, it can make it challenging to chew regularly, lead to clicking / popping noises when they open their mouth, and even cause serious headaches.
TMJ disorder and pain can come from a variety of sources, such as:
- Neck injuries
- Grinding
- Dislocation of the jaw
- Facial injuries
- Arthritis
- Stress
- How the teeth fit together
- Other diseases
- Relaxation techniques
- Dietary options
- Over-the-counter medications
- Daily habit corrections
