Jaw Pain & Facial Pain: Understanding the Root Cause

Do you wake up with jaw pain, struggle to chew, or feel tension in your face and temples? You might be dealing with Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD)—a group of conditions that affect the jaw joint, surrounding muscles, and nerves.

We specialize in diagnosing and treating TMD with precision and compassion. Our goal is to help you eat, speak, and smile without pain.

What is TMD?

TMD refers to dysfunction in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ)—the hinge that connects your jaw to your skull—and the muscles that control jaw movement. It’s one of the most common causes of chronic facial pain.
Common symptoms include:
• Jaw pain or tightness
• Clicking, popping, or locking of the jaw
• Difficulty chewing or opening the mouth
• Headaches, earaches, or neck pain
• Facial fatigue or pressure
Pain may be dull, sharp, or radiating—and often worsens with chewing, yawning, or stress.

What Causes TMD?

TMD can result from a combination of factors:

Physical Causes

  • Bruxism (teeth grinding or clenching)
  • Jaw injury or trauma
  • Arthritis (osteoarthritis or rheumatoid)
  • Disc displacement within the joint
  • Poor posture or neck strain

Emotional & Behavioral Triggers

  • Stress and anxiety
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Habitual gum chewing or nail biting

What Are the Treatment Options ?

TMD treatment is personalized and non-invasive. We offer:

  • Occlusal splints (custom nightguards)
  • Botox® injections for muscle relaxation
  • Physical therapy and jaw exercises
  • Neuromodulators for nerve-related pain
  • Stress management and behavioral therapy
  • Posture and sleep counseling

We avoid outdated practices like grinding down healthy teeth or unnecessary orthodontics.
