Jaw pain can make everyday activities like eating, talking, and even yawning feel unbearable. If you’re dealing with soreness, stiffness, or unusual noises like clicking or popping when you move your jaw, it might be time to address TMJ disorder.
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is essential for smooth jaw movement, but when it isn’t functioning as it should, it can greatly affect your daily life.
Thankfully, there are effective treatments available at Sioux Falls Smiles to help ease your discomfort.
What Are the Symptoms of TMJ Disorder?
TMJ disorder can lead to symptoms such as jaw pain, stiffness, difficulty moving the jaw, ear discomfort, and recurring headaches. You might also notice clicking or grinding noises when opening or closing your mouth.
While these symptoms might start small, they can worsen over time if left untreated.
Why Does TMJ Pain Happen?
Several factors can contribute to TMJ problems, such as teeth grinding, jaw clenching, arthritis, or misaligned teeth. Even everyday habits, like chewing gum excessively, can add strain to the joint.
Identifying what’s causing your TMJ discomfort is key to developing a treatment plan that works.
How Dental Care Can Help
Dental treatments for TMJ disorders are highly effective. Custom mouthguards can minimize grinding and clenching, while orthodontic solutions may help correct alignment issues.
Lifestyle changes, like stress management and targeted exercises, can also play a role in long-term relief.
