If you’re experiencing jaw discomfort, pain, or tenderness while chewing, you could be suffering from Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD), more commonly known as Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ).
At Link Dental Excellence, we’re here to address any of your TMJ concerns. We’ll initially explore potential risk factors contributing to your discomfort that could be unrelated to TMJ. A comprehensive examination will involve listening to your jaw, observing its movement, and applying pressure to identify the source of pain. Additionally, X-rays or 3D images may be taken to assess potential damage to the joint’s disk or soft tissues.
