What TMJ symptoms should I talk about?

You should mention jaw pain, clicking sounds, headaches, difficulty opening your mouth, or discomfort while chewing.

What happens in the first TMJ visit?

During the first TMJ visit, the dentist checks your jaw movement and bite and may take X-rays to evaluate the jaw joint.

TMJ treatment may include mouthguards, jaw exercises, lifestyle adjustments, and sometimes pain or anti-inflammatory medication.

Some patients feel improvement within a few weeks, but full recovery may take several months depending on the severity of the condition.
