Escondido Dentist, Dr Jeffry Kerbs, treats TMJ with success. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is something that everyone has, its the joint that allows our mouth to open and close. When the TMJ starts to have pain, popping, discomfort, this means that the bones, muscles and ligaments of the jaw joint aren’t functioning at their best, resulting in temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD).
TMD can present itself as up to 120 different symptoms that mimic other illnesses, making it difficult to diagnose. Symptoms like morning headaches, sore facial muscles, popping or clicking sounds when you chew, neck and back pain, toothaches, tooth sensitivity, ringing in the ears, ear aches, bowel and stomach issues, and numb fingers are just some of the symptoms that can be connected to your jaw, TMJ, function.
Dr Kerbs is highly trained to diagnose and treat TMD. If you have any of these issues, call today to schedule a consultation, we are here to help. 760-746-3663
