What Is Tmj Treatment?
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction involves the joint that attaches the mandible to the temporal bones at each side of your head. The temporomandibular joints, along with the surrounding muscles, give you the ability to chew your food, talk, and even yawn. When the joints don’t work properly, you experience symptoms such as:
- Tenderness in your jaw, which may be accompanied by severe jaw pain
- Stiffness of the jaw muscles
- Painful popping or clicking sounds each time your mouth opens or closes
- Pain on one side or both sides of your head
- Difficulty opening and closing your mouth
- Swelling in your face and jaw area
- Difficulty chewing food since your mouth doesn’t work properly
- Severe shooting headaches that resemble migraines

Treatment for TMJ dysfunction may be required when you experience symptoms severely enough. If you ever feel extreme pain in the joints and muscles on either side of your jaw, call on your dentist as soon as you can.

Seeking Treatment for TMJ
Pinpointing the origin of your pain can be difficult, as there are often several reasons for a case of TMJ dysfunction to act up. While the condition can affect anyone, it surfaces more frequently in women than in men. The latest research indicates that certain hormonal fluctuations in women can create functional problems with the temporomandibular joint.

Our dental center is well equipped and expertly staffed to correctly diagnose TMJ dysfunction and prescribe TMJ treatment. Whatever the reason for your TMJ pain, the experienced dentist takes effective action to diminish your pain and address the source. Don’t hesitate to visit your family dentist, since jaw pain can spread to your face, your ears, and even your eyes.
