About Temporomandibular Joint Disorder

When the jaw joint is not working properly or the muscles that control movement of the jaw are compromised, you may have temporomandibular disorder (TMD) or TMJ syndrome. Improper functioning of the jaw can make it difficult to chew and talk properly. You may also experience pain or tenderness around the face and neck, or have pain around the shoulders and upper back because of chronic tension around the jaw.

Some of the warning signs that there is a problem with the jaw include:

Popping or clicking sounds when opening or closing the mouth
Pain or tenderness when chewing
Frequent toothaches
Dizzy spells
Jaws that get locked or stuck in position
Tenderness or soreness around the face and shoulders
Ringing in the ears
