Symptoms
of TMJ can range from head and neck aches to popping or clicking
when you open your jaw. Dr. Herman uses treatments
that can range from bite guards to muscle relaxers. A
thorough dental exam may reveal the problem.
TMJ disorder describes a variety of conditions
affecting the temporomandibular joint (the point where
the jaw opens and closes) and nerves related to chronic
facial pain.
These
problems are now more easily diagnosed
and treated than in the past. Women
are twice as likely to be affected
than men.
