TMJ/Facial Pain – Pain While Chewing, Yawning And Biting?

TMD can lead to pain and tenderness in the muscles and ligaments surrounding your jaw joints. It is caused by various factors, such as teeth grinding, jaw injuries, arthritis, and everyday wear and tear. Treatments for TMJ disorders are tailored to the individual and may include medication, physical therapy, custom mouth guards, and jaw surgery.

TMD conditions can result in several problems, including headaches, jaw pain, and difficulty opening and closing your mouth. The term TMJ, however, specifically refers to your jaw joint, while TMD represents temporomandibular joint dysfunction or disorder.

Each person has two TMJs, situated on either side of their face just in front of their ears. These joints connect your lower jawbone to your skull and assist in actions like speaking and chewing.

Between 5% and 12% of the general adult population experiences some form of TMJ disorder. TMD is twice as prevalent in women and people assigned female at birth (AFAB) compared to men and people assigned male at birth (AMAB). The most common age group affected by TMD is between 20 and 40 years old.

TMJ/Facial Pain – What You Need To Know.

TMJ/Facial Pain Consultation

The Consultant Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon at Parkway Clinic will conduct a thorough examination to suggest a treatment plan tailored to your individual case. This plan will prioritize lifestyle changes, while also including specific actions and exercises. TMJ disorder encompasses a range of conditions and symptoms that impact the jaw joint and basic functions such as chewing, yawning, and biting.

TMJ/Facial Pain and Oral Surgery

TMJ Facial Pain - Parkway Clinic - Surgery Options
Located at the point where your jawbone meets your skull, the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) functions as a hinge-like joint that allows you to perform a wide range of mouth-related activities, such as talking and chewing. However, if you experience a TMJ disorder, this can lead to limited mobility, stiffness, or even pain that hinders your jaw’s full range of movement. In the event that more conservative approaches such as mouthguards or oral splints fail to provide relief from the symptoms, surgery may be a viable option to treat a TMJ disorder and restore full functionality. Our surgeons determine which surgical treatments to recommend based on the outcome of a TMJ/Facial Pain Consultation.
