Do you suffer from pain in the joint area, and or stiffness and inability at times to open wide or wake up feeling like you were clenching or grinding your teeth? You need our Dr. to look into your TMJ and issues that cause it to hurt.
Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) are a group of conditions that cause pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint and muscles .
“TMDs” refers to the disorders, and “TMJ” refers only to the temporomandibular joint itself. People have two TMJs; one on each side of the jaw.
Our doctor will note your symptoms and take a detailed medical history. He will ask questions about your pain, including its location, when it occurs, what makes it better or worse, and if it stays in one area or spreads to other parts of your body. The doctor will also ask if you have other pain conditions such as headache/neck or back pain. He will examine it thoroughly and then prescribe the appropriate treatment for your condition,.
