What is TMD?

TMD stands for temporomandibular disorder, which is a condition that affects the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), the joint that connects your jawbone to your skull. The TMJ is responsible for allowing you to open and close your mouth, and it also enables you to move your jaw from side to side. TMD occurs when there is a problem with the TMJ or the muscles that control jaw movement. This can cause pain, discomfort, and other symptoms in the jaw, face, and neck.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to consult with a Spring Green dental professional who can diagnose and provide appropriate treatment for your TMD. If left untreated, temporomandibular disorder can have a number of negative effects on your dental and overall health. Some of the potential risks of not treating TMD include:

Chronic pain and discomfort: TMD can cause chronic pain and discomfort in the jaw, face, and neck, which can interfere with your daily activities and reduce your quality of life.
Limited jaw movement: TMD can limit your ability to open and close your mouth properly, making it difficult to eat and speak.

Tooth damage: Clenching or grinding your teeth due to TMD can cause wear and tear on your teeth, leading to chipping, cracking, and other damage.
TMJ arthritis: Long-term TMD can lead to inflammation and damage to the TMJ, which can eventually result in TMJ arthritis.

If you are experiencing any symptoms of TMD, it’s important to seek treatment from a dental professional. Early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent these potential risks and ensure that you maintain good dental and overall health.
