What is TMJ-Related Jaw Pain?

Jaw pain, medically referred to as Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorder or TMD, affects the joints that connect your jawbone to your skull. These joints are essential for everyday functions like chewing, speaking, and yawning. When the TMJ becomes inflamed, misaligned, or otherwise compromised, it can lead to significant discomfort in the jaw area. This pain can range from a mild ache to severe, chronic pain that disrupts your daily life.

TMJ disorders are one of the primary causes of jaw pain. These disorders occur when there are issues with the muscles, ligaments, or joints in the jaw. Common causes include injury, arthritis, teeth grinding (bruxism), or misalignment of the jaw. Left untreated, TMJ disorders can lead to worsening pain and more serious conditions like lockjaw or difficulty in opening and closing the mouth.

Common Symptoms of Jaw Pain Related to TMJ:

• Pain or tenderness in the jaw area, especially when chewing or speaking.
• Locking of the jaw, making it difficult to open or close your mouth.
• Clicking, popping, or grating sounds when moving your jaw.
• Headaches, earaches, or neck pain that radiate from the jaw.
• Facial swelling near the jaw joint.
• Limited range of motion in the jaw.
