TMJ Disorders can be frequently unexplained or
misdiagnosed and therefore, unsuccessfully treated or left un-treated while
patients are labeled as hypochondriacs and told "it's all in your head"
.
What is TMD? And Do You Have It? Self-help hints to give you temporary, minor relief from some
symptoms if there is a time lapse before your appointment with a licensed
health care practitioner.
Headaches and Dental
Health Headaches are our number one pain
problem in the US. Today, there is growing realization that a common cause of
tension headaches is a bad bite.
TMJ and Dental
Health "TMJ Disorders" is a common term for
Craniomandibular Dysfunction, a collection of symptoms which result when the
chewing muscles and jaw joints do not work together correctly.
The TMJ: A Most Unique Joint The temporomandibular joint is the most unique joint in the whole
body: it is two joints in one; its function is dictated by another structure
(the teeth); and it has an articular disc located between the ball and
socket.

from a Temporomandibular Disorder. Does that include you? Not sure? Find out
