TMJ Symptoms Relief from Dentist Serving Fargo, West Fargo, and MoorheadTemporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) refers to problems with the jaw, the jaw joint (TMJ), and the surrounding facial muscles that control chewing and moving the jaw. TMJ or TMD is an umbrella term that covers both acute and chronic pain in the jaw, teeth, face, head, neck, shoulders, and back.

What happens if TMD/TMJ is not treated?

TMD pain can unexpectedly escalate in a short period of time. Many untreated TMJ patients show premature wear from grinding teeth. Some TMJ patients favor one side over the other, which causes teeth to wear unevenly. It can also cause asymmetrical muscle tone in the jaw. At Designer Smiles, we can help alleviate your TMD symptoms.
