Could be TMD!

Your temporomandibular joints - the two joints that are located in front of your ears and that hinge your jaws - are quite impressive. They can move side-to-side, back-and-forth, and up and down... all at the same time! They get a lot of use every time you bite, chew, speak, swallow... or grind your teeth.

Jaw clenching, teeth grinding, or an improper bite can contribute to teeth and gum pain as well as discomfort like popping, clicking, jaw tenderness, and headaches. Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD) is the official name for a host of symptoms that arise in part because of the proximity of these joints to many nerves, muscles, connective tissues, and ligaments.

Experiencing signs of TMD? Dentistry may have a solution.
