Your Path to Pain-Free Living with
Dr. Bruce Vafa DDS. MS.
In our daily lives, we rely heavily on our jaws for essential activities like speaking, eating, and expressing emotions. However, when these basic actions become sources of pain and discomfort, it can severely impact our quality of life. Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome, also known as TMJ disorder, is one such condition that can make these routine activities a challenge. Renowned Beverly Hills dentist, Dr. Bruce Vafa DDS. MSc., is a leading specialist in the treatment of TMJ, offering a comprehensive approach to alleviate symptoms and restore comfort to his patients.
What is Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome?
TMJ disorders manifest a variety of symptoms, often making them challenging to diagnose. Common signs of TMJ include:
- Pain or tenderness in the jaw
- Aching pain in and around the ear
- Difficulty or discomfort while chewing
- Facial pain
- Locking of the joint, making it difficult to open or close your mouth
It’s essential to consult a dental professional if you experience persistent pain or tenderness in your jaw or find opening or closing your mouth challenging.
Symptoms of TMJ Disorder
The Temporomandibular Joint connects your jawbone to your skull, acting like a sliding hinge that enables movement. TMJ disorders are a group of conditions that cause pain and dysfunction in these joints and the muscles controlling jaw movement. While the exact cause can be hard to determine, there may be several contributing factors, such as jaw injury, genetics, or arthritis.
