Millions of Americans experience chronic facial and neck pain or frequent headaches, often linked to temporomandibular disorder (TMD). At The Lewisville Dentist, we understand how TMD can impact your daily life and are here to provide expert care and solutions.
What is TMD?
The temporomandibular joints (TMJ) are the hinges connecting your lower jaw to your skull, enabling essential movements like chewing, speaking, and yawning. TMD occurs when these joints become inflamed or dysfunctional, leading to discomfort and restricted movement.
Recognizing TMD Symptoms
TMD can manifest in a variety of ways, including:
- Jaw Pain: Persistent discomfort in the TMJ area.
- Ear Pain or Ringing: A sensation of stuffiness or ringing in the ears.
- Frequent Headaches or Neck Aches: Often linked to jaw muscle tension.
- Jaw Sounds: Clicking or popping when moving the jaw.
- Facial Swelling: Inflammation around the jaw area.
- Muscle Spasms: Tightness or cramping in the jaw.
- Alignment Changes: Shifts in how your top and bottom teeth align.
- Jaw Locking: Limited movement or locking of the jaw.
If you experience any of these symptoms, our team at The Lewisville Dentist is here to help identify the cause and recommend the right treatment plan for you.
