What Is TMJ?

 

TMJ stands for the temporomandibular joint, the crucial hinge that links your jawbone to your skull. This joint enables essential functions such as chewing, talking, and yawning. Pain in this joint often results from a variety of factors, including:

  • Jaw misalignment
  • Stress
  • Teeth grinding
  • Injury

(TMJ) is essential for everyday activities like chewing and talking. Pain in this joint can stem from misalignment, stress, teeth grinding, or injury. If you’re experiencing discomfort, it’s crucial to seek help.
