TMJ Dentistry

http://www.richmondsmilecenter.com/tmj/index.html

The TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) is the jaw joint. It connects the jaw with the skull. When functioning properly, it enables chewing, speaking, yawning, and other jaw movements. However, if one or both of these joints are misaligned or damaged, they can cause jaw pain, chronic headaches, grinding of teeth, and other symptoms related to TMJ dysfunction.

In the past, TMJ dysfunction was poorly understood by the medical community, making diagnosis and treatment challenging. Today, we understand more than ever about why people experience jaw pain and migraine pain than ever before. Whereas the traditional approach to dentistry focuses exclusively on the teeth, we also look for problems with the jaws and neck. The mouth is not a separate entity, but rather interconnected with other structures.
