TMJ
TMJ Damages Your Overall Wellness
Patients who regularly experience headaches, dizziness, neck pain, or jaw clicking may suffer from TMJ disorder, a dysfunction of the temporomandibular joints. These two small joints hold your jaw to your skull and allow movement of the mouth. When the joints aren't in proper alignment, the associated muscles and nerves become irritated, which can lead to a variety of painful TMJ symptoms.
Your jaw joints are sensitive to your overall physical, emotional, and psychological stress. If you suffer from chronic headaches, pain, or improper jaw function due to TMJ disorder, Dr. Tartagni will correct the misalignment and restore the harmony in your mouth. After a complete evaluation, Dr. Tartagni may recommend stress reduction, jaw exercises, oral appliances, building up your bite, or over-the-counter anti-inflammatories.
