Faculty and staff of the Vijay Dental Clinic at Keelkattalai, specialize in Dental Sleep Medicine and Orofacial pain, and closely work with patients, educate, and do research. Patients with TMJ (temporomandibular joint), jaw, head, and/or neck discomfort, including clicking, locking, difficulties using the jaw, and unusual toothaches, are treated by us.

TMJ issues can cause the following signs and symptoms:

Tenderness or pain in your jaw
Temporomandibular joint pain in one or both joints
A throbbing ache in your ear and around it
Chewing difficulty or discomfort during chewing
Aching discomfort in the face
The joint becomes locked, making it difficult to open or close the mouth.

When you open your mouth or chew, TMJ issues can generate a clicking or grating feeling. However, if your jaw clicking isn't accompanied by pain or restriction of mobility, you generally don't need TMJ therapy.

When should you see a doctor?

If you experience persistent jaw discomfort or soreness, or if you can't fully open or close your jaw, get medical help. Possible reasons and therapies for your condition might be discussed with your doctor, dentist, or a TMJ experts at Vijay Dental clinic at Keelkattalai.
