Jaw Joint Disorder
Are you suffering from any jaw joint disorders like pain, clicking, popping or grating sounds? Are you looking for an expert TMJ specialist in Dubai for your treatment? Any pain associated with your jaw joint can be extremely agonizing. It can also be restrictive in terms of moving your mouth while eating, talking, and yawning. This kind of pain can occur due to a jaw joint disorder known as Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Dysfunction Syndrome.
The temporomandibular joint acts as a sliding hinge connecting the jaw to the temporal bones of the skull. The TMJ disorder can cause pain in the jaw joints and muscles and restrict movements. Usually, it tends to get resolved with self-care or non-surgical procedures. Undergoing surgery should always be one’s last choice, after the non-surgical or self-care treatments for jaw joint disorder have failed.

- Joint gets locked causing difficulty in opening and closing mouth
- Feeling pain in either one or both of your temporomandibular joints
- Recurring headaches
- Aching pain in and around the ear
- Changes in teeth alignment

- Severe jaw pain when you are trying to eat, talk, or yawn
