The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects the lower jaw, known as the mandible, to the jaw. It is found on both sides of the head in front of a person's ears. This joint allows the jaw to open and close, allowing a person to eat and speak normally.

Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) refer to a group of health conditions related to the jaw. It is estimated that millions of Americans suffer from TMDs, with women more commonly affected than men.

If you suffer from a TMD, the good news is that it is treatable. However, due to the range of potential causes, diagnosis can be difficult. That's why it is so important to see a professional. In Jersey City, we are your premier choice.

Symptoms and Treatments for TMD

Some of the common TMJ symptoms include:

Jaw pain
Facial pain
Headaches
Ringing in the ears or ear pain
Clicking sounds when the jaw is moved
Swelling on the sides of the face
Muscle spasms
Jaw locked, so the mouth can’t be opened or shut

If you suffer from any of these problems, please talk to us immediately. Allowing these problems to continue can lead to a deterioration or arthritis in the TMJ.

The recommended treatment option will depend on the diagnosis. Standard treatment options include home treatments, medication, therapies, surgeries, and other procedures.

In some cases, providing a patient with an oral device called a “splint,” which adjusts your jaw into a better position, helps. If teeth grinding is involved in causing the problem with the TMJ, the splint will prevent this problem as well.
