TMD can also cause referred pain in the ear, face, and behind the eyes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Limited mobility.<\/strong> TMD can limit your jaw\u2019s range of motion and function. In most serious cases, TMD can also cause the jaws to get stuck in the open or closed position (known as jaw locking).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unexplainable symptoms.<\/strong> TMD can also cause symptoms that don\u2019t seem related to jaw issues, such as headaches, toothaches, earaches, dizziness, neck and upper shoulder pain, hearing problems, or tinnitus (ringing in the ears).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Causes of Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMD)&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.19.4&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h3>Causes of Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMD)<\/h3>\n<p>The TMJ is a complex joint and TMD is a complex disorder.

And because every patient is unique, TMD treatment should always be tailored to address your symptoms, their underlying causes, and your individual needs. As part of your comprehensive treatment plan, one of our dentists will help you determine whether one or more of the following treatment options may be right for you.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Medications.<\/strong> Over-the-counter medications may be able to help you ease pain and reduce inflammation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Oral appliance.<\/strong> Wearing a small appliance (such as a night guard or splint) inside the mouth while sleeping can decrease clenching and grinding, thereby easing muscle and joint strain.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Botox.<\/strong> As it temporarily inhibits the neurotransmitters that tell muscles to contract, Botox injections may alleviate TMD symptoms by reducing tension, decreasing pain, and improving jaw mobility.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stress management.<\/strong> As stress can cause muscle tension and teeth-clenching, adopting stress management strategies may help reduce symptoms of TMD.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The symptoms caused by TMD can be uncomfortable, painful, and disruptive to your daily activities and quality of life.
