Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Treatment in Chester

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the area where your jawbone meets your temporal bone. It is a critical part of your body, and here, we consider health problems that might arise, as well as the causes, symptoms and treatments to look out for.

The TMJ is uniquely important as the hinge that connects someone’s jaw to their skull. The surrounding muscles are crucial for effective eating and talking. Problems arise when there is excessive clenching, teeth malalignment or bad head or neck posture.

Given the close link between the TMJ, neck joints and muscles, sensitive nerves connecting the neck and lower brain are vulnerable and can result in unwelcome facial or head pains.

If you experience symptoms and think you might need TMJ therapy in Chester, give our specialist team at Art of Dental Care a call today to set up an appointment.
