What Are TMJ & TMD Treatments?

TMJ or TMD stands for Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction / Disorder. TMJ issues are present in 20 to 30 percent of the adult population, mostly between the ages of 20 and 40.

Women tend to have TMJ issues more than men, and tension headaches are a common symptom of TMJ related problems. If your tension headache is caused by TMJ, it’s usually due to stress from the misalignment of the jaw joint, and jaw and surrounding muscles experiencing stress due to the misalignment. A TMD / TMJ Treatment option from Great Boca Smiles in Boca Raton, FL may be right for you.

  • Jaw pain
