Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) affects millions, causing chronic facial and neck pain, as well as recurring headaches. The condition stems from issues with the temporomandibular joints (TMJs), which connect the jawbone to the skull and are essential for daily functions like talking and eating. Symptoms of TMD include jaw pain, ear discomfort, frequent headaches, jaw clicking or popping, muscle spasms, altered teeth alignment, and restricted mouth opening.

If you experience these symptoms, it’s important to discuss them with your dentist to determine if TMD is the cause and to develop an appropriate treatment plan. However, not all jaw pain indicates TMD. Preventative measures include maintaining relaxed facial muscles, avoiding teeth grinding, chewing evenly, and practicing good posture. If TMD symptoms persist, consult your dental office for further evaluation and potential treatment.
