What TMJ and TMD Mean

The temporomandibular joint connects the jaw to the skull and supports essential movements such as speaking, chewing, and yawning. When this joint or the surrounding muscles become strained, irritated, or misaligned, it can lead to a condition known as TMD. Patients may experience pain, clicking, limited movement, headaches, or tension in the face and neck. Addressing TMJ issues helps restore comfort and supports healthier jaw function throughout the day.

Signs You May Have a TMJ Disorder

From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming, professional, and efficient. The front desk made scheduling and check-in quick and easy, and the office itself was clean and comfortable. Will definitely be going back!”
