Temporomandibular joint dysfunction, commonly referred to as TMJ, is a chronic degenerative disease that causes pain and unordinary movement of the jaw joint as well as the muscles surrounding it. Common symptoms of TMJ include:

•Pain in the jaw

•Difficulty chewing

•Clicking in the jaw

•Locking of the jaw joint

•Headaches and neck aches 

•Difficulty opening and closing your mouth

Believe it or not, more than 10 million people in the United States have TMJ and have to deal with pain and discomfort each day. There are multiple causes of TMJ, including arthritis, dislocation of the jaw, misaligned bite, and past injury. 

But the pain and discomfort aren’t the only issues caused by TMJ. Without proper treatment for TMJ, this condition can cause major damage to your jaws as well as your teeth - causing even more problems for you in the future. TMJ can also disguise itself as other issues - like migraines, neck and shoulder stiffness, sinus headaches, and earaches. That’s why, if you’re suffering from TMJ, it’s important for you to find a dentist who is specialized in providing treatment for TMJ near you.

Dr. Tripp Davis and his Little River dental care team will guide you through diagnosis and treatment for TMJ. Using the latest technology, Carolina Family Dental will pinpoint the source of your pain and provide gentle, nonsurgical treatment to help alleviate it.
