What is Internal Derangement Of The Joint
Experiencing oral pain can be debilitating, and its underlying causes are often complex. One such condition causing oral discomfort is the Internal Derangement of the Joint (IDJ). At the forefront of addressing this condition in the Los Angeles area is Dr. Bruce Vafa DDS. MSc., a renowned specialist in oral pain relief and TMJ disorders.
Understanding Internal Derangement of the Joint
Internal Derangement of the Joint (IDJ) is a condition where the articular disc, a thin piece of cartilage within the jaw joint, becomes displaced. This displacement can disrupt the smooth movement of the jaw and lead to various symptoms. IDJ is a form of Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD) and is commonly associated with oral pain and discomfort.
Symptoms of Internal Derangement of the Joint
The symptoms of IDJ can vary greatly among individuals and may include:
- Difficulty and discomfort while opening the mouth or chewing
- A clicking or popping sound in the jaw joint
- Facial pain or tenderness
- Headaches and earaches
- Locking of the jaw
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s crucial to seek professional help promptly. Persistent oral pain or difficulty in moving the jaw can indicate a more severe condition requiring immediate attention.
