Jaw Pain & TMD Treatment For Painful & Clicking Jaws

TMJ is an acronym for temporomandibular joint or the jaw joint. TMD is the acronym for Temporomandibular Disorder, painful jaw, or jaw disorder. Jaw pain or Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) is a common condition affecting over 10% of the population. It occurs when the jaw joints' muscles, ligaments, discs, and joints are prevented from working correctly and harmoniously.

 

The jaw joint is the only joint that does not have a pain-sensing nerve. For those who experience jaw pain, the pain comes from muscles and ligaments that mobilize the joints. Also, jaw pain is a sign of advanced or complicated jaw problems. Jaw problems or TMD is a symptomless condition in the early stages. As the condition progress, it leads to clicking, grinding, and pain. Clicking jaw sounds are also indicative of a severe condition. A clicking jaw means the jaw disc has slipped. A grinding jaw joint is indicative of a worn-out jaw joint and occurs in the aftermath of a slipped jaw disc.

 

It is critical to get jaw problems treated as early as possible. TMD and jaw pain are the main culprits in developing tinnitus, headaches, dizziness, and vertigo.
