Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ)

Trauma, improper articulation, and even grinding your teeth while you sleep can lead to TMJ (temporomandibular joining) pain and dysfunction.

Difficulty chewing and yawning, Jaw pain, and even a clicking noise when you open and shut your mouth may all be signs and symptoms of TMJ dysfunction. This common condition can causes pain and stiffness of the jaw joint and its surrounding muscles. This can make it very difficult to open your mouth, talk, yawn, and chew.
