Assessment for TMJ/TMD Concerns in Park Ridge, Logan

If you are experiencing jaw discomfort, headaches, clicking, or jaw tension, our team can assess your symptoms and help determine whether they may be related to TMJ/TMD concerns. We can also guide you on appropriate next steps and referrals where required.

What Is TMJ / TMD?

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the hinge connecting your jaw to your skull.
TMD occurs when this joint or the surrounding muscles become strained or inflamed.

Because the joint moves whenever you talk, chew or yawn, small problems can quickly become daily discomfort.

1. Jaw pain or tightness

2. Clicking or popping sounds

3. Morning headaches

4. Teeth grinding or clenching

5. Ear pressure without infection

6. Locked jaw

Many headaches actually begin in the jaw muscles.
