What Is TMJ?
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the hinge that connects your lower jaw to your skull, allowing you to speak, chew, and yawn. When this joint or the surrounding muscles don’t function properly, it can lead to temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD). Common symptoms include jaw pain, headaches, clicking or popping sounds, and even neck or shoulder discomfort.
At our office, we provide comprehensive dental care in Wilmington, Delaware that goes beyond routine checkups.
