What Is TMJ?
TMD (temporomandibular disorders) is most commonly referred to as TMJ. Characterized by significant pain in the jaw and limitation in jaw joint movement, this condition is known to affect chewing, talking, and swallowing. In some cases, TMJ can even cause issues that disrupt normal breathing.
Several symptoms are most often associated with TMJ, including recurrent facial pain, facial sensitivity, swelling, constant teeth grinding, the locking of the jaw joint, and a limited range of motion in the jaw.
Symptoms vary, but can also include:
- Headaches and migraines
- Pain and tenderness around the jaw, ears, cheeks, and neck
- Stiffness in the jaw
- Earaches
- Pain while yawning
- Painful chewing
- Uncontrolled changed in facial expression
