Jaw Pain, Headaches, And TMD: What You Need To Know
Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) can cause a range of uncomfortable and even debilitating symptoms. TMD is the catch-all term for a host of issues that affect the temporomandibular joints (TMJ), which connect your jaw to your skull. The temporomandibular joints are crucial to daily activities like eating, speaking, and even yawning. So, when something goes wrong with these joints, the resulting pain and dysfunction can significantly impact your quality of life.
