If you suffer from headaches that sometimes stretch to the jaw area, pain in chewing or stiffness of the jaw than you may have a problem with your Temporomandibular Joint.

The Temporomandibular Joint is the hinge on which the lower jaw pivots as it opens and closes. Unfortunately the joint can be prone to problems. Problems with the Temporomandibular Joint are varied and can manifest themselves as headaches, neck ache, earache, a clicking when opening and closing the mouth, lock jaw and difficulties in swallowing or talking.

The causes are sometimes hard to pinpoint but disorders of the TMJ have been traced back to teeth grinding, an incorrect bite, stress, tension and nail biting. Some people may be more prone to the condition and some people who suffer with TMJ problems will find that on or both of their parents also suffer.

Although problems with the joint are common and varied, it is only classed as a disorder if the patient suffers pain from the joint. A TMJ Dentist will be able to discuss treatment options with you once TMJ Diagnosis has been performed. Treatment is wide and varied and involves first addressing the actual cause of the problem. Bites are corrected, teeth grinding during the night is combated using a mouth guard and so on. Once the root cause of the disorder is addressed then sometimes the condition can correct itself. Any people that still suffer from pain can be assessed by their doctor to see if any correctional surgery is needed.
