What is TMJ disorder?
Your TMJ connects your mandible (jawbone) to the skull. It is what allows you the movements to speak and chew. TMJ disorders can cause pain in your jaw and muscles that support it when they stop working together properly. It can be caused by a misalignment of your lower and upper jaw, known as your bite. Symptoms of TMJ disorder may vary among patients. Some of the most common symptoms includes headaches, toothaches, tenderness in the area, head pain, sinus issues, a limited use of the jaw, and popping sounds when opening the mouth. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, then contact your Bayside dentist for help. These symptoms may be a sign of TMJ disorder and a treatment could help.
