"The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jawbone to your skull on each side of your face, acting as a sliding hinge as you open and close your mouth. Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) can cause pain in your jaw joint and in the muscles that control jaw movement. This pain can become quite debilitating for some patients, causing chronic facial pain but there are numerous ways that your dentist can correct temporomandibular joint dysfunction and relieve pain.
