What is TMD?

TMD is a group of conditions that can affect your jaw joint and the muscles that control your jaw movement. There can be symptoms that arise in the hinge that connects your jaw to your skull!

The symptoms to look out for:

Jaw pain or discomfort is the most common symptom. This is where you have pain in your jaw muscles or joints, which can be most prevalent in the morning or night time.

Headaches: frequent headaches can occur, spreading to behind your eyes and face.

Jaw movement issues can occur– limiting your movement of your jaw. This can also include your jaw becoming locked and stiff.

Clicking or popping sounds in your jaw can occur when you open or close your mouth.
