TMJ is a disorder of the joint that connects the jaw to the skull on either side of the head.


Temporomandibular joint disorder can have several causes, most of which can be easily diagnosed and treated by a TMJ dentist.


TMJ is often connected with or caused by bruxism, or teeth grinding.
Teeth grinding brought on by TMJ can also cause headaches and tension in the neck.
In rare cases, the insomnia brought on by TMJ can lead to depression and have a negative impact on the sufferer's job performance, relationships, and mental stability.
Such a night guard can be crafted by a dentist from a mold of the patient's teeth.


Untreated TMJ can have other affects on a person's oral health as well.
Untreated TMJ can also lead some people to eating disorders as they will resort to a liquid diet or avoid food altogether to minimize their jaw pain.
Anything ranging from slight pain in the ears to premature loss of hearing can result from TMJ.
Likewise, vision problems can develop as a consequence of TMJ.
In these cases a trip to the emergency room is required to forcibly unlock the jaw.


Many sufferers try to simply mask their pain instead of addressing it directly with a trip to a TMJ dentist.
In fact, there are several reported cases of TMJ sufferers falling victim to alcoholism and/or drug abuse.
And yet the causes of TMJ are usually easily and non-surgically corrected in one trip to a dentist's office.
The risks of leaving TMJ untreated simply aren't worth it.
