What symptoms can point to TMJ or bite-related problems?
Common symptoms include jaw soreness, headaches, clicking, clenching, limited opening, tooth wear, and facial tension.
When should I see a dentist for TMJ discomfort?
If jaw pain is recurring, if your bite feels off, or if you are waking up with headaches or clenching, a dental evaluation can help identify the cause early.
What treatments might help?
Treatment can include bite analysis, nightguards, restorative care, targeted Botox for TMJ, and in some cases full-mouth rehabilitation when the bite is unstable.
