Can TMJ Disorder Cause Face & Jaw Pain?
Face and jaw pain can often be linked to issues affecting the jaw joints, or the TMJ. In many cases, chronic facial pain can be traced back to bruxism (teeth grinding/jaw clenching). The jaw joints are located right in front of the ears, relative to your face. They’re surrounded by numerous muscles and ligaments, and if these joints are the source of your pain, that discomfort can radiate outward and affect other parts of your face, such as your ears or even your eyes.
How We Can Treat Face & Jaw Pain
Our office is able to treat face and jaw pain in a few different ways. If your discomfort is the result of a particular TMJ disorder such as bruxism, we might suggest a treatment option like occlusal adjustment. In other cases, a custom-made nightguard can sometimes do the trick for restoring your bite alignment. Remember, do not wait around for your jaw pain to resolve itself – it will likely only worsen without help!
