Your Questions, Answered
TMJ is the joint that connects your lower jaw to your skull, just in front of your ears. Problems with this joint or its muscles cause jaw pain, clicking and headaches.
Clicking often comes from the small disc inside the joint moving out of place. It’s common and often painless, but see us if it hurts or your jaw locks.
Yes. Stress often leads to clenching or grinding, especially at night, which strains the jaw muscles.
Rarely. Most people improve with simple care like exercises, a night guard and medicines.
It stops your teeth grinding against each other and lets your jaw muscles relax while you sleep.
Eat soft food, avoid chewing gum, use warm compresses and try not to open your mouth too wide.
It depends on what your jaw needs. Most people need only a consultation, advice and a night guard.
