  1. What is TMJ Treatment?

  2. The temporomandibular joints (TMJ) in your jaw connect your lower jaw and skull together. Located close to the front of each ear, your TMJ joints allow you to chew and swallow your food as well as open your mouth to speak, yawn, sneeze, and other everyday functions. If you are experiencing chronic pain in this area, you may have developed TMJ disorder. Typical causes of this painful dental problem include:

  3. Arthritis in your jaw joints • You injured your jaw or the bones supporting it due to an accident • You deal with unrelenting stress and frequently clench your jaw because of it • The disc that normally holds the joints and sockets together has slipped out of place
