Our TMJ Dentist Houston program recognizes that the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction can mimic many other diseases, and therefore is often misdiagnosed or overlooked. Some of the common symptoms include: 1. dull, chronic pain in or around the ear area, usually spreading to the face, neck, back of the head, and shoulders. 2. certain types of migraine headaches, sometimes of significant proportions.  3. ringing in the ears, hearing loss, "plugged" ears, ear pain.  4. tenderness of the jaw muscles.  5. clicking or popping noises when opening or closing the mouth.  6. difficulty opening the mouth or chewing, locking of jaws open or closed.

What And Where Is TMJ? 

At River Oaks Center For: Temporomandibular Joint  (TMJ) TMD Dentistry in Houston, we recognize, teach and treat that the temporomandibular joints are the hinges located on either side of the face that connect the lower jaw to the skull. Each temporomandibular joint has two sections that permit the hinge and gliding actions needed to open the mouth naturally. [tmj dentist houston]
