Neuromuscular Dentistry

TMJ is short for temporomandibular joint. If you have TMJ disorder, you will experience intense headaches or migraines, which can radiate down to your shoulders.

You may also experience ringing ears, and pain around the ears. Because the symptoms resemble those of migraine, many people try to consult a doctor who is not properly equipped to treat TMJ disorder.

In most cases, people suffering from TMJ and are misdiagnosed are often given pain medications to treat the migraines or headaches. This doesn’t always work and the headaches will just come back again.
