TMJ Treatment at River Rock Dental
WHAT IS TMJ DISORDER?
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the hinge connecting your jawbone to your skull. It allows your jaw to move up and down and side to side. TMJ disorders occur when there are issues with this joint or the muscles controlling it. This can lead to pain, limited mobility, and a range of other uncomfortable symptoms.
