WHAT IS TMJ?

Understanding TMJ

Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) encompasses problems affecting the jaw muscles, the temporomandibular joint itself, and the surrounding areas. This joint connects the jawbone to the skull, functioning like a hinge that enables you to open and close your mouth, as well as move your jaw side to side. TMJ disorders can cause significant pain and may impair jaw function, making it difficult to open your mouth, chew, or move your jaw comfortably.

 

What are the symptoms of TMJ disorder?

Common symptoms of TMJ disorders include:

  • Pain in the sides of the face, jaw joint area, neck, shoulders
  • Discomfort in and around the ear
  • Popping, clicking, or grating sounds when opening or closing the jaw
  • A feeling of tiredness in the face
  • Discomfort or difficulty while chewing
  • Swelling of the face
  • Headaches
  • Dizziness
  • Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
  • Toothaches
  • Neck pain
