What Is It?

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome / Tempromandibular disorder (TMD) is pain in the jaw joint that can be caused by a variety of medical problems. This can cause facial pain, chewing pain, snapping/poppling/locking of the jaw and headaches. Pain in the TMJ can be due to trauma, such as whiplash, poor posture, a blow to the face; inflammatory or degenerative arthritis, or poor dental work or structural defects that push the mandible back towards the ears whenever the patient chews or swallows.

Grinding or clenching the teeth due to stress is a frequent culprit. Sometimes muscles around the TMJ used for chewing can go into spasm, causing head and neck pain, and difficulty opening the mouth normally.
