Jaw pain is one of the more common symptoms of TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint Disorder) where the joint connecting your jawbone to your skull causes discomfort. This can be caused by a misalignment of the jaw, joint cartilage damage by arthritis or another type of impact. A maxillofacial consultant will be able to diagnose TMJ and recommend the best treatment for your specific circumstances.
Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ) can be managed through various treatments, depending on the severity of the symptoms. Initial approaches include self-care practices, medications, physical therapy and dental splints or mouthguards.
For more persistent cases, injections and minimally invasive procedures like arthrocentesis and arthroscopy can provide relief.
In severe cases, open-joint surgery or total joint replacement may be necessary.
If the pain subsides within a few weeks there is no need for medical attention. However, if the symptoms continue past that it is important that you speak to a Doctor as it could get worse over time.
TMJ can affect your ears, mouth, nose and throat as they are all connected. You could have discomfort and pain in any of these areas.
