The temporomandibular joint disorder, which is also known as the TMJ disorder, can affect your life in many ways. It can even make normal, mundane tasks very difficult to do. If you are a victim of this problem, it’s best to visit our dentist, Dr. Thi Hoang, for treatment. Before you do so, you need to have a good idea of if you’re a victim of the TMJ disorder or not. So, to help you, our dentist is happy to list the symptoms of the TMJ disorder, which are: 

-Jaw discomfort 

-Trouble chewing 

-Clicking sounds in the jaw (If you only have this one symptom, you might not have the TMJ disorder) 

-Stiffening (locking) in the jaw, which means not being able to open or close the mouth 

-Tenderness in the joints of the jaw 

-Aching pain near the temples of your head (by your ears) 

-Discomfort while chewing 

-Facial pain 

-A grating sensation in the jaw when you talk, chew and open and close the mouth 

If you have one or more of these symptoms, it’s time to schedule an appointment for treatment. You deserve to have a comfortable life!
