TMJ Therapy in Suffern, NY
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects our jaw (mandible) to the temporal bones on each side of our skull. The TMJ Therapy gets a lot of use all day, every day. It allows us to speak and chew, two activities most people enjoy (again, a lot!).
The TMJ is prone to TMD; that is, temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) symptoms include:
● Pain in one or both of the temporomandibular joints and/or pain in your jaw.● Aching pain in and around the ear or ears (the temporal bone area).● Locking of the TMJ, including the jaw slipping in and out of joint.● Brief hyperextension of the jaw.● Pain in the TMJ or jaw while chewing.
Your dentist in Mahwah, NJ, should be the first point of contact for you to ensure that you are choosing the right dental treatment and that everything goes well with your dental health.
