Do you suffer from teeth grinding, or any other symptoms of TMJ disorder? Alex Martin, DDS offers comprehensive TMJ therapy in Scottsdale, AZ, to eliminate tooth pain, headaches, jaw discomfort, and other damaging symptoms.
What is TMJ?
Your temporomandibular joints (TMJs) are complex joints that are positioned on either side of your head to allow your jaw to move. When they are working properly, you likely won't even notice your TMJ joints; but, when irritated or inflamed, the TMJ can cause a significant amount of pain when opening and closing the mouth. Teeth grinding (also known as bruxism) is both a cause of and a symptom of TMJ disorder.
