Understanding TMJ Disorders

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, also known as TMD, involve pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint and surrounding muscles. TMJ issues can disrupt daily activities like chewing, speaking, and even breathing in severe cases.

Common symptoms include:

  • Jaw pain or tenderness
  • Recurring headaches or migraines
  • Earaches and facial pain
  • Clicking or popping sounds in the jaw
  • Difficulty opening or closing the mouth
  • Stiffness in the jaw
  • Locking of the jaw joint
  • Misalignment between the upper and lower teeth
If left untreated, TMJ symptoms can worsen, impacting your quality of life. Serenity Dental is here to help.
