The temporomandibular joint, your “jaw joint,” is one of the most complex joints in the body. In addition to moving up and down, it moves forward, back, and side to side, all controlled by an intricate network of muscles, ligaments, and other soft tissue.
When these delicately balanced temporomandibular joints, chewing muscles, or articular discs work incorrectly, the jaw joints often misalign and “pop” or “lock,” muscles frequently cramp or go into spasms, and nerve pain can occur. Left unresolved, this results in tissue damage, chronic pain, and muscle tenderness.

Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ) can cause discomfort that affects your jaw, face, and even your daily activities. Common symptoms include jaw pain or stiffness, headaches, earaches, difficulty chewing, or a clicking/popping sound when opening and closing the mouth. These warning signs should not be ignored, as early detection allows for more effective treatment and long-term relief. At our dental office, we provide thorough evaluations to identify TMJ symptoms and create personalized treatment plans to restore comfort and function.

TMJ disorder can be caused by several factors, including jaw injuries, teeth grinding (often due to stress), poor posture, arthritis, or jaw misalignment.
If you experience jaw pain, clicking sounds when moving your mouth, headaches, or difficulty chewing, you may have TMJ disorder. It’s important to see a dentist for an evaluation.
While there isn’t always a cure for TMJ, effective treatment can help manage symptoms, relieve pain, and restore normal jaw function, improving your overall quality of life.
If you are experiencing TMJ pain, contact MK&C Dental for an evaluation. We can create a personalized treatment plan to address your specific symptoms and needs.
At-home remedies such as applying warm or cold compresses, practicing stress reduction techniques, and avoiding hard or chewy foods can help manage TMJ symptoms, but professional treatment is often necessary for long-term relief.
