Causes of TMJ
At New Haven Dental Center, we understand that TMJ can be a painful and disruptive condition. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a hinge joint located on either side of your head that connects your lower jaw to your skull.
When this joint becomes damaged or misaligned, it can cause severe pain, tenderness, and difficulty with everyday activities such as speaking, eating, or yawning. At New Haven Dental Center, Dr. Blake Weil is an experienced dentist who can provide treatment for TMJ.
Dr. Weil will assess the causes of your TMJ and develop a personalized treatment plan to help alleviate your symptoms. Common causes of TMJ include muscle tension, teeth grinding, arthritis, and jaw joint misalignment. Dr. Weil will diagnose the cause of your TMJ and provide a comprehensive treatment plan to help you find relief.
