Persistent Jaw Pain? TMJ Could Be the Cause
Jaw discomfort can be manageable at first, but if the pain persists or comes with symptoms like jaw clicking, popping, or locking, it may be a sign of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. At Glen Park Dental in San Francisco, we understand how disruptive TMJ jaw pain can be, and we are dedicated to identifying the underlying cause of your discomfort. Our skilled team is equipped to provide an accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plan designed to relieve your pain and restore function.
Understanding TMJ Jaw Pain: Finding the Source
TMJ-related jaw pain often stems from bite misalignment issues, such as malocclusion, where the upper and lower teeth don’t meet properly. This misalignment can affect the temporomandibular joint—the hinge connecting your jaw to your skull—and cause pain that may radiate beyond your jaw to areas like your face, neck, and even your back. Because the TMJ interacts with multiple nerves, untreated jaw issues might also lead to unexplained headaches, facial pain, or tingling sensations in your arms or hands. The first step to relief is a comprehensive evaluation by a dental professional experienced in TMJ disorders.
