Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can cause significant pain and discomfort, affecting your ability to chew, speak and even sleep. Dr. Mayur Patel, our experienced dentist, is dedicated to providing effective TMJ care for our patients.
Understanding TMJ Disorders
The TMJ connects the lower jaw to the skull and plays a crucial role in daily functions such as chewing and speaking. TMJ disorders can arise from various factors, including injury, arthritis, teeth grinding (bruxism) and misalignment. Common symptoms of TMJ disorders include:
- Jaw Pain: Persistent pain in the jaw joint and surrounding areas.
- Headaches: Frequent headaches or migraines.
- Difficulty Chewing: Discomfort or pain while chewing.
- Clicking or Popping: Sounds when opening or closing the mouth.
- Lockjaw: Limited ability to open or close the mouth.
