Relieve Jaw Pain and Improve Your Quality of Life
Do you suffer from frequent jaw pain, clicking sounds while chewing, or restricted jaw movement? These could be signs of Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorders, also known as TMD. At Kamala Dental in Trivandrum, we provide expert care and advanced treatment options to help you regain pain-free jaw function.
What Is the Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ)?
The TMJ is a hinge-like joint that connects your lower jaw (mandible) to the temporal bones of your skull. It allows smooth movements required for speaking, chewing, and yawning. When the joint or surrounding muscles become inflamed or misaligned, it leads to TMJ disorders.Common Symptoms of TMJ Disorders
TMJ disorders can vary in severity. If you experience one or more of the following symptoms, it's important to seek evaluation:
- Jaw pain or tenderness
- Clicking, popping, or grinding sounds while opening or closing the mouth
- Difficulty chewing or locking of the jaw
- Headaches, earaches, or facial pain
- Uneven bite or limited mouth opening
What Causes TMJ Disorders?
Several factors may contribute to TMJ dysfunction, including:
- Teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism)
- Arthritis affecting the joint
- Injury to the jaw
- Poor posture or stress-related muscle tension
- Misalignment of teeth or jaw bones
