Do you suffer from migraines or frequent and severe headaches? Do you notice pain in your jaw, neck, or have a toothache as well? If you have been struggling with any of these symptoms, it might be time to talk to your Monkton dentist about TMJ/TMD treatment.
TMJ stands for the temporomandibular joint, which is your jaw joint. TMD stands for temporomandibular disorders, which are a variety of issues encompassing pain associated with TMJ and the functionality of the jaw joint and the muscles in the jaw.
The National Institute of Health reports that TMD may affect more than 10 million Americans, and many are affected in the Sparks, MD community.
