If you experience jaw discomfort, clicking sounds or limited movement in your jaw, you may be suffering from a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. TMJ issues can impact your daily life, from eating and speaking to sleeping and focusing. Divine Smiles Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry offers thoughtful and effective care to help manage and relieve TMJ symptoms, improving both comfort and function.
Understanding TMJ Disorders
The temporomandibular joint connects the lower jaw to the skull and allows for movements such as chewing, speaking and yawning. When the joint or surrounding muscles become irritated or misaligned, it can result in pain and dysfunction.
Common signs of TMJ disorders may include:
- Jaw pain or stiffness
- Headaches or facial pain
- Popping, clicking or grinding sounds when moving the jaw
- Difficulty opening or closing the mouth fully
- Pain while chewing or speaking
Because TMJ disorders can have multiple causes, including stress, injury or bite misalignment, it is important to seek a thorough evaluation from a dental professional experienced in TMJ care.
