If you have chronic mouth pain, headaches, or even shoulder tension, you might be suffering from a TMJ disorder.

TMJ stands for temporomandibular joints. These joints are the joints that move when you move your jaw. If you move your jaw too frequently by grinding your teeth or through other jaw issues, these joints can become worn, and cause problems.

Understanding TMJ/TMD

Temporomandibular joint problems are referred to as a TMD, or temporomandibular joint disorder. If you frequently grind your teeth when you sleep or these joints become overused in other ways, you may develop a TMD.

TMD issues can cause:

• Headaches
• Pain in the jaw joints
• Your ears feel stuffy
• Strange clicking or popping when your jaw moves
• Muscle spasms
• Face swelling

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms it may be a sign that you are suffering from a TMD disorder. You can find headache relief and treatment for your other TMD symptoms with Dr. Garr and our team.
