Dysfunction: Dysfunction of your jaw (temporomandibular) joint. While there is no recognized specialty in Dentistry called TMJ, many general and specialist Dentist's have expertise in treating the jaw joints and associated tissues. Start with your General Dentist who may offer you treatment or refer you to a colleague. Help is available.
