Many patients visit the clinic thinking they have a toothache, but sometimes the real cause is a TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) disorder.
TMJ problems can cause:
• Jaw pain
• Headache
• Pain near the ear
• Clicking sound while opening the mouth
• Difficulty opening the mouth
Common causes include missing teeth, malaligned teeth, teeth grinding, and stress.
Early diagnosis and proper treatment can prevent serious problems like jaw locking and chronic pain.
A healthy TMJ is just as important as healthy teeth.
