Do You Have Neck or Jaw Pain?
TMJ disorder isn’t always an obvious pain or clicking noise inside of your joint. Many of our Spring TMD patients first notice warning signs such as:
- Chronic headaches and migraines
- Soreness of facial muscles or through the head and neck, especially first thing in the morning or toward the end of a long, stressful day
- Sore teeth
- Teeth that are beginning to wear down or break
- Prominent jaw muscles
- Chronic clenching and grinding (bruxism) when stressed
- Misaligned teeth/jaws causing an imbalanced bite
The only way to know for certain whether or not you have TMJ disorder is to see our specialist near Spring for an exam and consultation. During your appointment, we’ll evaluate a number of different anatomical features to determine the primary causes that are contributing to your TMD.
After a diagnosis, you’ll be equipped with the information needed to take proactive steps to treat your condition.
