Do you suffer from frequent headaches or pain from chewing and yawning? Does your jaw click or pop? Do you struggle to open or close your mouth because your jaw feels “stuck?”

You might have a Temporomandibular Disorder, or TMJ/TMD.

Common Causes of TMJ or TMD

TMJ impacts the joint in your jaw. When damaged, it can make doing basic activities, such as chewing or talking, a struggle. Common causes of TMJ/TMD include:

Grinding or clenching your teeth
Trauma that dislocates your jawbone
Stress
Inflammation or arthritis
Weak bones

If you’re experiencing any type of pain or discomfort in your jaw and suspect that TMJ might be to blame, it’s imperative that you see a dentist for treatment.
