Headaches, sore jaw, sensitive teeth? 🤕🦷
It might not just be stress… it could be TMJ.
TMJ is the joint that connects your jaw to your skull. People usually refer to TMJ when experiencing:
• Headache, neck & shoulder pain
• Jaw soreness or tightness
• Sensitive teeth
• Even tongue numbness or changes in taste 👅
Most of the time, the cause is grinding, clenching, or not having a good bite (underbite, overbite, crossbite, or open bite).
Treatment may include:
✨ Night guard to relax chewing muscles
✨ Pain killers, heat application, soft diet
✨ Orthodontics to correct the bite
Fix the bite, relax the muscles, and bring comfort back.
