TMD (TMJ Disorder)
The Temporomandibular joint is where the Jaw joints the skull, and allows a jaw movement. Problems with the TMJ can cause a wide range of painful symptoms, including:
- Face, jaw, cheek, ear or head pain
- Pain on yawing, opening the jaw, or chewing
- Noise or 'clicking' with jaw movement
- Bite problems, such as the feeling that the upper and lower teeth are not 'biting' properly.
TMD has many suspected causes and some, such as bad malocclusion, teeth grinding or other dental problems can be treated by your dentist. In fact, a thorough dental examination is usually the first step to investigating the caused of TMD, and relieving your pain.
