Some dental pains, like sensitivity to cold or hot beverages are readily noticeable. Other sources of pain, like those in the jaw, are harder to spot. The temporomandibular joint, usually called your TMJ, is what allows your jaw to move. There’s a TMJ on either side of your mouth where the lower jaw meets your skull. Talking, chewing, and drinking, all require the use of your temporomandibular joints. When TMJ pain becomes present, it’s difficult to complete even the simplest of tasks.
TMJ pain is often caused by teeth grinding, or bruxism, and TMD (Temporomandibular Disorders). TMJ pain is typically joined by a clicking or popping when you open and close your jaw. The issue can create TMJ headache pain, jaw pain, neck pain, or even lockjaw.
The DeJesus Dental Group offers the best treatment for TMJ pain. We offer a special dental splint similar to a mouthguard. Wearing this at night takes some pressure off your TMJ to give the joint extra time to heal on its own. We will also examine the muscles in your TMJ to make sure they are working properly. When searching for a TMJ specialist CT, know that our skilled staff works with state-of-the-art technology to find the source of your pain and offer the best treatment method available.
Soreness in the temporomandibular joint is generally caused by a misaligned jaw or teeth grinding at night. If your jaw is misaligned, you’ll suffer from an overbite, underbite, or crossbite. The result is additional wear on a certain area of teeth, which can lead to severe jaw pain. Through our orthodontics treatments, Dr. DeJesus and his staff can offer a solution to shift your jaw slightly to get rid of any misalignment.
Too much stress on your temporomandibular joint can create headaches and migraines. Mouthguards used to treat the leading causes of TMJ can help alleviate some of the headache pain.

Symptoms include jaw pain or stiffness, clicking or popping sounds when moving the jaw, difficulty chewing, and sometimes a locked jaw or pain that radiates to the neck or ears.
Treatments can include oral splints or mouthguards, physical therapy, medications (like pain relievers or muscle relaxants), and in severe cases, surgical interventions.
A mouthguard can help alleviate pressure on the jaw joints, reduce tooth clenching or grinding (bruxism), and position the jaw to relieve discomfort.
Yes, avoiding hard or chewy foods, practicing stress reduction techniques, and using heat or ice packs can help manage symptoms effectively.
A dental emergency usually involves pain, infection, bleeding, or the risk of losing a tooth if nothing is done. When in doubt, call. We’d always rather talk it through with you early than have you wait and end up needing more complex treatment later.
