The temporomandibular joint acts as a sliding hinge, connecting the jawbone to the skull. We have two of them and they work together as a pair. TMJ disorders are a complex and poorly understood set of conditions characterized by pain in the jaw joint and surrounding tissues. When this occurs, it may be difficult to yawn, speak, or chew your food. Fortunately, at Ardas Family Dental in Parker, CO we can provide you with relief.
The exact cause of a person’s TMJ disorder is often difficult to establish, but the condition can be related to injury to the teeth or jaw, misalignment of the teeth or jaw and teeth grinding. Signs and symptoms may include pain in the jaw joint, jaw clicking and popping, and ear pain. In most cases, the pain and discomfort associated with TMJ disorder will be treated with non-invasive methods, first.
If you experience constant jaw pain, please give us a call to discuss your treatment options. To learn more about services we provide at the practice, visit Dentist Parker, CO for more information.
