Jaw and TMJ Pain Relief in Barrie
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the joint that connects your jaw to your skull. You have one on either side of your face. This joint allows you to open and close your mouth, chew food, and speak.
Symptoms
Jaw pain and TMJ disorders often manifest with a range of symptoms, which may include:
- Pain in the Jaw: Persistent discomfort or pain in the jaw area, often felt on one or both sides.
- Clicking or Popping Sounds: Audible sounds when opening or closing the mouth, which may be accompanied by discomfort.
- Limited Jaw Movement: Difficulty opening your mouth wide, making chewing and speaking uncomfortable.
- Ear Pain: TMJ issues can radiate pain to the ears, causing discomfort in this area.
- Headaches: Frequent headaches, particularly in the temple or jaw region, can be a symptom of TMJ disorders.
- Locking Jaw: In severe cases, the jaw may become locked in an open or closed position.
