The temporomandibular joint or TMJ is the joint that connects the temporal bone (from the sides of your scull) with the mandible (the jaw bone). Problems associated with the jaw joint can affect anyone, at any age, at any time.
How can I tell if I have TMJ dysfunction?
Common pain symptoms of TMJ include: - Earaches, ringing in the ears
- Pain in and around the jaw joints
- Difficulty swallowing
- Locking of the jaw or difficulty moving jaw
- Clicking or grating of the jaw
- Headaches
If you are suffering from any of these symptoms, you should schedule an appointment with our comprehensive dentist to determine accurately if TMJ dysfunction is responsible for your discomfort.
What options are available for treatment of TMJ syndrome? After your consultation with Dr. Saylor, he will go over all the different options for therapy with you. Many times, a simple change in eating habits can realize substantial benefits. In other cases, an adjustment to your bite or a mouth-piece worn at night may be necessary. An appointment with our expert dentist will answer any questions you might have.
