Recognizing the Signs of a TMJ Disorder
TMJ disorders often exacerbate over time, so early diagnosis and intervention are crucial. Individuals who have experienced jaw injuries, those who grind their teeth, or suffer from arthritis are particularly susceptible. Be on the lookout for these early warning signs:
- Persistent jaw pain, not limited to the area adjacent to the joint
- Facial aches, especially around the ears
- Difficulty or pain while chewing
- Jaw locking, which hampers mouth movement
- A subtle clicking sound during chewing
