Determine Cause: You'll need to see a dentist to determine the cause of your TMJ issues. Are you grinding or clenching? Are your teeth malpositioned? Did you traumatize the joint in any way? Is there a physical issue with the joint itself? Unless these potential causes are addressed, you may be needlessly suffering. Please call for an appointment.
