Why jaw pain occurs and how we help
The temporomandibular joints (TMJ) connect your jaw to your skull and allow you to speak, chew, and move your mouth comfortably. When these joints or surrounding muscles are not functioning properly, it can lead to TMJ disorder.
Common Causes Include:
- Teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism)
- Jaw misalignment
- Stress and muscle tension
- Injury or arthritis
Signs of TMJ disorder may include:
- Jaw clicking, popping, or locking
- Pain near the jaw or ears
- Headaches or neck pain
- Discomfort chewing or opening mouth
