Recognizing the Signs of TMJ Disorders

TMJ pain is a group of disorders affecting the temporomandibular joint or its supporting muscles. TMJ disorders can manifest in various ways, often affecting your quality of life. At Nickles Dental, we're dedicated to helping you identify and address these symptoms.

If you're experiencing any of the following, it might be time to seek TMJ treatment:

• Clicking or popping sounds when chewing or opening the mouth
  
• Pain in the jaw joint, shoulders, and neck
  
• Headaches or earaches
  
• Lock jaw or difficulty opening the mouth wide

Common TMJ problems include:

• Muscle pain and inflammation from jaw movement
  
• Joint issues such as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis
  
• Causes of TMJ-Related Tooth Pain
  
• Bruxism: Grinding and clenching wear down the joint and strain facial muscles
  
• Emotional stress: Leads to muscle tension
  
• Bite problems: Misaligned teeth cause uneven pressure on jaw muscles
  
• Injuries: Trauma to the jaw, joint, or muscles
  
• Overstretching: Excessive jaw movement
