Our dentists will use a thorough exam, x-rays, and an in-depth discussion of your health history and current situation to diagnose your jaw joint (TMJ) discomfort. If you suffer from TMJ pain or other uncomfortable conditions, you may have a jaw joint disorder known as temporomandibular disorder (TMD).
What Are the Common Symptoms of TMD?
If you suffer from TMD, these are some of the symptoms that you might experience:
- Jaw locking open or closed
- Neck and shoulder pain
- Jaw joint popping or clicking on opening or closing of the mouth
- Frequent headaches or migraines
- Ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
