- Symptoms: TMJ dysfunction may manifest as jaw pain, stiffness, clicking or popping sounds, headaches, earaches, and difficulty chewing or opening/closing the mouth properly.
- Causes: Contributing factors to TMJ dysfunction may include misalignment of the jaw joint, teeth grinding (bruxism), stress, arthritis, injury, or structural issues in the jaw or surrounding muscles.
- Treatment Importance: Left untreated, TMJ dysfunction can lead to worsening symptoms, compromised oral health, and diminished quality of life. Seeking prompt treatment is essential to alleviate discomfort and prevent further complications.
