- What causes TMJ disorder?
The temporomandibular joints (TMJ) are located on each side of your head just in front of the ears, connecting your jaw to your skull. They are the primary joints involved in any jaw movements, such as eating and talking.
Temporomandibular disorder (TMD)…Opens in a new window to an article on Healthline about TMD… is a broad classification for multiple conditions that affect the TMJ. The TMJ combines a hinge action with sliding movement, making it a fairly complex structure prone to damage.
There’s no single definitive cause of TMD, and each person is different. Contributing factors include:
- Injury to your jaw
- Trauma in the muscles of your head and neck such as whiplash
- Teeth grinding and clenching, often from stress
- Arthritis
- An improper or misaligned bite
- Jaw dislocation
Dr. K can discuss your symptoms, lifestyle, and medical history to help better understand the causes of your TMD.
Contact our office today to schedule a consultation and get the answers you’ve been looking for.
- What can I do to help lesson my TMD symptoms?
Here are a few simple things you can do to help lessen the severity of TMJ disorder:
- Eat soft foods
- Avoid chewing gum or biting your nails
- Use heat packs to reduce pain and soreness
- Practice relaxing the jaw and the neck and shoulder muscles
If these quick tips aren’t enough to relieve your pain, consider TMJ therapy in Franklin, MA. Call our office to schedule a consultation with Dr. K: 508-613-9513.
