Chronic jaw pain, headaches, and ear discomfort affect many adults between the ages of 20 and 40, often due to TMJ disorders. Temporomandibular joint disorders involve the joint that connects the jaw to the skull. These conditions can be extremely uncomfortable and frequently have an underlying dental cause. At his New York office, Nicholas Tsiolas, DDS, focuses on addressing the dental factors that contribute to TMJ disorders, helping patients find lasting relief.

What is a TMJ disorder?
The temporomandibular joint functions as a hinge that connects the jaw to the skull. This joint, along with the surrounding muscles, allows you to open and close your mouth. It is one of the most complex joints in the body.
When this joint becomes misaligned or does not move smoothly, TMJ disorders can develop. These conditions affect both the joint and the muscles responsible for jaw movement and may also impact the cartilage that cushions nearby bones.
Common signs include:
● Pain in the jaw, ears, or face● Discomfort in one or both jaw joints● Clicking or popping sounds when moving the jaw● Jaw locking or limited movement● Pain or difficulty while chewing
Common contributing factors include:
● Jaw injury● Arthritis● Chronic teeth grinding or clenching● Certain connective tissue disorders
