Symptoms of Jaw Joint Diseases:
If you experience
- difficulties opening or closing your mouth
- pain in the cheeks
- gum pain that does not go away after treatment or tooth extraction and even after surgery
the cause lies in the jaw joints or the masticatory muscle system.
Between 1 and 51 percent of the world's population suffers from problems with the jaw joints or what is known as Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD). Their main symptoms include:
- pain in the jaw area;
- jaw movement disorders;
- chewing function disorders;
- in the most severe cases – speech impairment.
During dental treatment, dysfunction of the jaw joints causes severe and prolonged pain in the teeth, neck, and facial area, as well as significant problems with chewing food. These symptoms drastically reduce the quality of life, and they can last for months or even years, potentially leading to a chronic condition that makes a person's life simply unbearable.
