The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects the temporal bone of the skull to the lower jaw, thus enabling us to chew.
Sometimes a patient can suffer from Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD), symptoms of which include painful movement or locking of the jaw, as well as a clicking sound while chewing.
Grinding or clenching teeth and stress are the leading causes of TMD, often resulting in chronic migraines.
In our dental office we will help you explore all the possible treatments and remedies for your TMJ problems.
