TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint, which is also known as your jaw joint. However, this acronym is also used to describe various jaw joint disorders.
TMJ disorder refers to any issues with the muscles, tissues, or bones in and around the jaw joint itself. It can develop for a number of reasons including injury, joint disease and very commonly tooth clenching and grinding.
We encourage you to book a TMJ assessment at Edge Dental if you are experiencing any of these symptoms.
