Trouble With Your Jaw

Are you aware of grinding or clenching?

Do you wake up with stiff muscles around your face, jaw or neck?

Do you have frequent headaches?

Does stress make it worse?

Do you have clicking or popping?

Is it difficult to open your mouth, eat or yawn?

Do you have teeth that no longer touch when you bite?

Do your teeth meet differently from time to time?

Are your teeth sensitive, broken or worn?

Is it hard to use your front teeth to bite down on food?

The more times you answered “yes” the more likely it is that you have TMJ disorder. Understanding TMJ disorders will also help you understand how they are treated.
