If you suffer from TMJ—temporomandibular joint disorder—then chances are you are well aware of this condition, which affects the joints that allow you to move your jaw up and down, side to side and back and forth. The symptoms of TMJ are hard to miss and include:
- Pain around your jaw and ears
- Frequent headaches
- Clicking or popping sounds when you open or close your mouth
- Feeling as if your jaw is stuck or locked in position
- Muscle tension or pain in your jaw, neck, head and shoulders
- Swelling on the side of your face
With TMJ treatment, Lincoln, NE dentist Dr. Louis Olberding can relieve all of these symptoms and get your life back on track.
