TMD / TMJ Treatment in Toronto

Temporomandibular disorders can manifest as chronic facial and neck pain as well as recurrent headaches.  The temporomandibular joints (or jaw-joints) connect your lower jaw to your skull.  These joints are on the receiving end of a lot of work over the course of day, be it via talking, chewing, yawning and swallowing.  Non-productive habits such as grinding or clenching as well as traumatic impacts can over-load these joints and result in pain in and around the area and possibly restricted jaw movement.

Symptoms of TMD include:

• Pain in and around the jaw
• Pain, ringing (tinnitus), or stuffiness in the ears
• Frequent headaches or neck aches
• Locked jaw or limited opening of the mouth
• Swelling on the sides of the face
• Muscle spasms/tenderness  in the jaw area
• A change in the alignment of top and bottom teeth
• Clicking or popping sounds upon jaw movement

If you suffer from any of the above symptoms, please let us know so that we may provide you with a thorough evaluation and make treatment recommendations that are right for you.
