Temporomandibular disorders (TMD)
are disorders of the jaw muscles, temporomandibular joints, and/or the nerves
associated with chronic facial pain. Any problem that prevents the complex
system of muscles, bones, and joints from working together in harmony may
result in temporomandibular disorder.
Most oral health professionals are of the view that the primary cause of this
disorder is excessive strain on the muscle group that controls chewing,
swallowing, and speech. |

This strain may be a result of bruxism (incessant clenching of the teeth), or
from physical or mental stress. These factors may be the cause, in most cases,
or may aggravate an existing condition of TMD.
The most common symptoms of TMD include jaw discomfort or soreness (often most
prevalent in the morning or late afternoon), headaches, pain radiating behind
the eyes, in the face, shoulder, neck, and/or back, earaches or ringing in the
ears (not caused by an infection of the inner ear canal), clicking or popping
of the jaw, locking of the jaw, getting limited mouth motions, clenching or
grinding of the teeth , severe dizziness, sensitivity of the teeth without the
presence of an oral health disease and numbness or tingling sensation in the
fingers.
Specific treatment for TMD will be determined by your physician or dentist
based on the age of patient his over all health and full medical history. Some
other things what a doctor may include are extent of the disease with the
tolerance power of the patient in view of the medications and the procedures or
therapies to be included for the treatment. The treatment may include resting
the tmj mediations and pain relievers relaxation techniques and stress
management with diet modification and posture training or in severer cases may
too include surgery.
