TMJ Conditions
The specific presentations we see and treat.
People rarely arrive with a diagnosis. They arrive with a symptom — a jaw that locks, an ear that will not stop ringing, a tooth that hurts after two rounds of dental treatment. These pages describe the presentations we see most often and what each one usually turns out to be.
- Locked JawA jaw that catches, or will not open or close.
- Limited OpeningReduced range before pain or a hard stop.
- BruxismClenching and grinding, awake or asleep.
- Clicking & PoppingJoint noise, with or without pain.
- Disc DegenerationWear and displacement inside the joint.
- Jaw TightnessMuscles that never fully release.
- Jaw DeviationA jaw that veers off centre as it opens.
- Tinnitus & TMJRinging ears with a normal hearing test.
- TMJ Ear PainEar pain and fullness with no infection.
- TMJ & Neck PainNeck and shoulder pain that tracks with the jaw.
- Persistent ToothacheTooth pain that survives dental treatment.
- Jaw Pain in PregnancyWhy TMJ symptoms flare during pregnancy.
- Facial PainPain across the face the teeth do not explain.
- Jaw Pain on One SideOne-sided jaw pain, what it usually is, and the signs that need urgent review.
- Dislocated JawA jaw that has come out of its socket — and what it is often confused with.
