Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction
TMJ, or Temporomandibular joint dysfunction, is a common and treatable disorder of the jaw muscles leading to discomfort in the area and other assorted effects. If you are experiencing pain in your jaw, you might have TMJ. Fortunately, the experienced dentists at Greenery Park Dentistry in Kalispell, MT, offer the necessary treatments you need to find relief.
If untreated, symptoms of TMJ may worsen. Here are a few common signs of the condition:
Pain & Aching: The jaw or temporomandibular joints may feel tender, swollen, or painful, with discomfort radiating down the neck. TMJ sometimes also causes painful aching in the ear area, causing it to be mistaken for an ear infection. The aching may also manifest in other facial muscles.
