Understanding TMJ

The intricacies of your jaw play a crucial role in fundamental activities like chewing, speaking, and expressing emotion. Central to this is the temporomandibular joint, a pivotal connection between your jawbone and skull. Complications in this joint, known as TMJD, manifest in diverse ways, from harmless clicking to debilitating pain, whether your jaw is mobile or at rest.

Recognizing When To Seek Help

Pain is not the initial sign of every TMJ disorder. Early symptoms might involve jaw sounds without discomfort, leading many to delay seeking help. However, ignoring these signs can escalate into severe, potentially irreversible damage. It's vital to listen to your body’s cues and promptly consult with Dr. Ostrovsky, your San Francisco TMJ dentist, at the first indication of irregularities in your jaw functioning.

Signs of TMJ Disorders Can Include:

  • Unexplained jaw or facial pain

  • Audible clicking or popping sounds

  • Challenges in fully opening or closing the mouth

  • Recurrent headaches

  • Persistent pain around the ears

  • Tinnitus or ear-ringing
