TMJ/TMD
Find Relief in Petersburg, VA from Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ, TMD)
Have you ever yawned or taken a bite of food, but cringed in pain? If you have, you are not alone. People with a poorly aligned bite or missing teeth can experience more pronounced health-related problems, such as jaw pain. This often occurs because the jaw muscles are working harder to bring teeth together. In turn, this strains the surrounding muscles. When this occurs, you may be suffering from a temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) in Petersburg, VA.
What is TMD?
TMD is a painful condition often mistaken for recurring headaches and jaw pain you might be experiencing. The temporomandibular joints (TMJ) are the points at which the lower jaw attaches to the skull, and are among the most complex joints in the human body. One of the most recognized signs of TMJ disorders is joint sound. That means if your jaw clicks or pops it is important to seek treatment for TMD from our Petersburg, VA team at United Smiles.
