Millions of sufferers of the pain and discomfort of TMD/TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorder) are often misdiagnosed. Temporomandibular joint disorder can cause pain in many different areas of your body. According to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research more than ten million people suffer from this debilitating disorder.

The headache caused by TMD/TMJ is often diagnosed as tension or sinus headache. Some other symptoms associated with this disorder include dizziness, nausea and vomiting, pain and soreness of jaw, ears, neck, shoulders and back, tinnitus (ringing in the ears) and clicking, grinding and popping noises in the jaw.

Since temporomandibular joint disorder is usually the result of a trauma or misalignment of the jaw, a neuromuscular dentist is trained to recognize and treat this disorder.

A neuromuscular dentist is trained to understand the complicated relationship between the temporomandibular joint and the nerves and muscles surrounding it. TMD/TMJ is a treatable and reversible disorder in the hands of a skilled and highly trained neuromuscular dentist.
