Understanding TMJ and Bruxism

  • TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint Disorder): TMJ affects the joints connecting your jawbone to your skull, leading to pain, difficulty chewing, and even clicking or locking of the jaw.
  • Bruxism: Bruxism refers to teeth grinding or clenching, often during sleep. It can cause tooth damage, jaw pain, and headaches over time.

Both conditions can significantly impact your daily life, but effective treatments are available to manage symptoms and protect your oral health.
