Important Information about TMJ Disorder Therapy
Your temporomandibular joint is located in the spot where your jaw opens and closes and is associated with the nerves that surround this joint. If TMJ is left untreated, it can result in damage to your teeth, muscle damage, or even damage to the temporomandibular joint itself. That’s why it’s so important to have this condition treated as soon as possible.
There are several symptoms that indicate you may be experiencing TMJ disorder, including the following:
- Pain, soreness or stiffness in your jaw
- Earaches that extend into your facial area
- Soreness in front of your ear
- Popping or grinding noises that occur when you open your mouth
- Overly sensitive teeth
- Pains in your neck
- Headaches on the sides of your head
- Teeth grinding while you sleep
- Limited range of motion or locking of the jaw in either the closed or open position
Fortunately, there are several methods of treatment that Dr. Klingsporn can recommend to treat this painful condition.
