Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Treatments

Effective Care for Pain in Your Jaw

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the long name for the connective muscle and bone in your jaw that controls chewing, speaking, and swallowing. Sometimes this joint can become inflamed or develop a disorder that causes you to experience shooting pain around your ear or face or discomfort when you chew. In some cases, a patient experiences a locking of the joint that makes opening or closing the mouth difficult. A TMJ disorder can develop in one or both joints.
