Midland, TX
Our temporomandibular joints or TMJ are found at the base of the joints and muscles in the jawline. These specific joints make it possible for us to open and close the mouth. Found on each side of your head, these joints work together simultaneously to help you chew, speak and swallow.
There are many reasons why people suffer from TMJ. They include arthritis, injury, tooth decay, poor jaw alignment, stress, teeth grinding and dislocation from an accident. TMJ and TMD often cause discomfort and pain, leading to patients seeking relief from symptoms. Symptoms can be temporary or last for years. Working closely with the team at Basin Dentistry can help you regain the use of your jaw and relief from painful TMJ side effects with general dentistry.
Symptoms of TMJ & TMD
Are you concerned you may have a jaw disorder? Symptoms of TMJ and TMD are:
- Pain or excessive tenderness in your face, jaw area, neck and shoulders. Pain can also be evident around and inside the ear when you chew food, speak or open your mouth wide.
- Difficulties and pain when trying to open your mouth wide.
- Jaw issues that include feeling stuck, or locked in an open or closed mouth position.
- Popping, clicking or grinding noises in the jaw joint when you open and close your mouth.
- Tired or achy feeling in your face.
