Understanding TMJ/TMD
TMJ/TMD refers to issues affecting the temporomandibular joint—the joint that connects your jawbone to your skull. It can cause a range of symptoms, including jaw pain, difficulty chewing, clicking or popping sounds when opening or closing the mouth, headaches, and earaches.
Common Causes of TMJ/TMD
- Teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism)
- Misaligned bite or dental problems
- Stress and tension
- Jaw injuries or trauma
- Arthritis in the TMJ
