Temporomandibular Joint
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the joint that connects the lower jaw to the skull, enabling the movements needed for chewing and speaking. It plays a crucial role in the comfort and function of the jaw. TMJ disorders can cause pain, clicking sounds, or difficulty in opening and closing the mouth.
The following symptoms may indicate a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder and require treatment:
Jaw Pain: Persistent or sharp pain in the jaw area or around the ears.
Clicking or Popping Sounds: Audible sounds during jaw movements.
Difficulty Opening or Closing the Mouth: Limited range of jaw movement.
Headaches: Frequent headaches or migraines associated with facial pain.
Neck or Shoulder Pain: Discomfort or pain in areas adjacent to the jaw.
Teeth Grinding or Clenching: Bruxism or muscle tension in the jaw.
If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to consult a specialist for evaluation and treatment of TMJ disorders.
TMJ disorder treatments vary based on symptom severity and underlying causes. Here are the primary treatment options:
Occlusal Therapy: Use of mouth guards or mandibular advancement devices.
Physical Therapy: Exercises to improve jaw function and reduce pain.
Medications: Anti-inflammatory and muscle relaxants to relieve symptoms.
Stress Management: Relaxation techniques to reduce bruxism.
Surgery: In severe cases, surgical intervention may correct TMJ abnormalities.

My dear Jacques,
Off to Paris, where they’ll ask me how I’ve (slightly) rejuvenated... Guess, and voilà, SMILE! I feel so much better and happier thanks to YOU, to your immense kindness, which will help me keep fighting in the work I love, just like you. You are incredible—calm, kind to your whole team, and to the patients... eagerly awaiting to feel better. No words to thank you... just joyful photos. THANK YOU.
