Understanding TMJ

TMJ stands for Temporomandibular Joint. This joint connects your jaw to your skull and is used every time you talk, chew, or yawn. Sometimes, issues can arise in this joint, leading to pain and discomfort. This condition is called TMJ disorder or TMD.

Common Symptoms of TMJ Disorder

If you have TMJ disorder, you may notice various symptoms:

• Jaw pain or tenderness
• Pain in the face or neck
• Difficulty chewing or biting
• Clicking or popping sounds when you open or close your mouth
• Headaches, often starting from the temples
• L =imited ability to open your mouth wide or a locked jaw

It is important to recognize these symptoms early. The sooner you seek help, the easier it is to manage and treat the condition.
