If Your Jaw Makes Popping Sounds, You Grind Your Teeth, Have Headaches Or Neck Pain You May Have TMJ
The Temporomandibular joint connects your bottom jaw with your skull (you can feel this hinge just below the ears). Sometimes it can get out of whack and cause many problems. About 15% of Americans, especially women in their 20s to 40s, suffer from what is known as TMJ Disorder or just TMJ. This can be caused by stress, such as childcare or work responsibilities, use of oral contraceptives, missing teeth or an uneven bite, vitamin or mineral deficiencies, sports injury, excessive gum chewing, and arthritis or fibromyalgia, among other factors.
The good news is that if you are experiencing these symptoms, the experts at Wilshire Smile Studio can properly diagnose whether you have TMJ and recommend therapies. These can range from using a customized mouth guard to be worn when you sleep to the restoration of missing teeth.
