TMJ (Temporomandibular) Dysfunction
The
temporo-mandibular (TMJ) joint is a small joint located in
the front of the ear where the skull and the lower jaw (mandible)
meet. This joint allows your jaw to move. Various problems
are caused by TMJ disorders. TMJ sufferers complain often
of either headaches, earaches and very often the inability
to open their mouth. Some patients experience clicking sounds
upon opening and closing their mouths. As a specialist in
the areas of the mouth, teeth and jaws, Dr. Rosenlicht can
correct the problem with surgical and non-surgical
procedures.
