How TMJ Affects Your Overall Health

Dentist Shoreline

TMJ or TMD as it is also called, refers to our temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and is one of the most important joints of our body as it allows us to chew and move our jaw. The joint connects our upper jaw in front of our ear to our lower jaw creating a “ball in socket” motion that allows our mouth to open and close comfortably. When there is inflammation or deterioration of the disc between the joint, it creates a painful condition that can lead to difficulty chewing, speaking, and even yawning properly. 

Unfortunately there is no single cause for a TMJ disorder, but a majority of people experience this condition because of misaligned teeth, chronic clenching and grinding, stress, or trauma. Treatment will depend on the severity of the disorder, but at Bright 32 Family Dentistry, we will look at your entire dental and medical profile to determine the right course of treatment for you. 

If you suffer from jaw pain or think you may need to talk to a dental professional, schedule a consultation with Dr. Brenner today to discuss your options.

There are several symptoms of a TMJ disorder. Symptoms will depend on if you have a mild case or an extreme condition, which at times may feel debilitating and hopeless. The most common signs of TMJ include headaches, jaw clicking and popping, painful eating, a locking jaw, neck pain, and ear ringing. 

At Bright 32 Family Dentistry our team is dedicated to your overall health. If you suffer from TMJ or want to discuss your symptoms with a dental professional, schedule a virtual consultation with Dr. Brenner so he can look for signs and symptoms and help you determine your next course of action. In the diagnosis of TMJ, 3-D X-rays  are going to be imperative. Dr. Brenner can review any X-rays completed prior to your consultation as a complimentary service so your conversation can be as effective as possible.
