Many people have gotten used to waking up with pain in the face or lockjaw. If this sounds like you, you might have a problem with your temporomandibular joint, or TMJ. You might not go to the dentist because of the pain, but if you take care of TMJ problems early, you might avoid much worse pain in the future.
Living with TMJ may be difficult since it impacts your ability to get quality sleep, mood, and appetite. If a person with TMJ doesn't get treatment, they may develop sleep disorders and insomnia or become dependent on drugs or alcohol to cope with the discomfort. Teeth grinding, among other things, can cause jaw swelling, damaged enamel, and chipped teeth. In severe cases, some people have lost their ability to hear. Despite the alarming nature of these signs, finding local TMJ therapy can greatly lessen the likelihood of developing any more difficulties.
Causes of TMJ
● Nighttime clenching and grinding
● Daytime clenching
● Arthritis
● Accidents to the jaw
● Anatomical issues of the joints
● Extremely poor bite
● Anxiety and stress
The Consequences of Untreated TMJ
