TMJ Disorders
TMJ Disorders refer to problems affecting the temporomandibular joint, which connects the jawbone to the skull. These disorders can cause pain in the jaw, face, and neck, as well as difficulty in chewing or opening the mouth. Symptoms may include clicking or popping sounds when moving the jaw.
The exact cause of TMJ Disorders can vary and may include jaw injuries, arthritis, or teeth grinding. Treatment options often involve pain relief methods, physical therapy, or dental appliances. In some cases, surgery may be considered if other treatments do not provide relief.
