 JAW PAIN
| Temporomandibular disorders is an umbrella term
for the vast array of painful conditions that
affect the jaw joint (temporomandibular joint) and
the nearby tissues. People suffering from
temporomandibular disorders often experience face
pain or pain in the jaw joint, which may lock into
place or cause an annoying and painful popping and
clicking sound as the jaw opens and shuts.
Headaches, earaches and dizziness are also common.
The severity of these symptoms, like the symptoms
themselves, vary widely from minor discomfort to
serious debilitating pain and dysfunction, which in
a small number of patients, can persist for
years. |
==================================
Doctors are often stumped by what causes
temporamandiublar disorders, largely because of the
diversity of these conditions. In some cases, there
are obvious culprits: underlying diseases such as
degenerative arthritis or cancer, or traumatic
injury. But overall, most patients with
Temporomandibular disorders have no common medical
history, but are lumped together because of
overlapping signs and symptoms. |
==================================
| The best way to prevent Temporomandibular
disorders is to avoid grinding and clenching of the
teeth as well as excessive gum chewing or wide
yawning. |
