Made of Durable Materials That are Able to Withstand Significant Use

TMD/TMJ Disorders

Dublin Dental Care is able to diagnose and treat many types of TMD/TMJ disorders. The Temporomandibular joint (TMJ), located near the ears, acts as a hinge connecting the lower jaw to the temporal bone of the skull. Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) result in problems with this joint and the surrounding muscles that control important functions such as eating, speaking, and jaw movement.

TMD may be indicted by one or more of the following symptoms:

^

The Locking of the Jaw in Place

^

A Fatigued Feeling in the Face

^

Swelling on the Side of the Face, Near the TMJ

^

Sustained Difficulty Chewing

^

Clicking or Popping Sounds When Opening and Closing the Jaw

^

A Limited Ability to Open the Mouth Fully
