Temporomandibular Joint Disorders
Temporomandibular joint disorders affect the joint that connects the jaw with the skull and the muscles involved in chewing and speaking. They can cause discomfort when opening the mouth, pain in the area, and, at times, joint sounds.
Common symptoms:
- Pain in the jaw, ear, or face
- Clicking or noises when opening and closing the mouth
- Difficulty or stiffness when chewing
Contributing factors: Clenching the teeth, stress, injuries, or bite problems are often related to these conditions.
Which specialist treats it? The oral and maxillofacial surgeon, the dentist, and the otolaryngologist can evaluate the joint depending on the symptoms. If the discomfort persists or interferes with daily life, it is worth consulting a professional to find relief.
