TMJ Disorders
TMJ disorders affect the temporomandibular joint, which connects the jaw with the skull and allows the mouth to open and close, chew, and speak.
How they show up: Pain or tenderness in the jaw area, clicking when opening the mouth, difficulty chewing, and headache or earache may be part of the picture.
Contributing factors: Clenching or grinding the teeth, stress, injuries, and certain bite problems are often related.
Which specialist treats them? The dentist performs the initial assessment and the oral and maxillofacial surgeon steps in for the cases that require it, with support from the physical therapist. If jaw discomfort persists, discussing it with a professional makes it possible to find the right guidance.
