How Face & Jaw Pain Can Be the Result of TMD
When a person has TMD, the muscles in their jaw are unable to fully relax. This can be due to several reasons, but the end result is that the muscles overwork themselves and become sore. It’s easy to see how this could lead to jaw pain, but this tension can also radiate into the muscles of the face because everything above your neck is very interconnected. Even though the jaw is the problem, it’s sometimes the face where the pain initially appears.
Can You Treat My Face & Jaw Pain?
Even though having TMD isn’t exactly pleasant, for people with face and jaw pain, a diagnosis can offer a clear path toward long-term relief. Dr. Saba can effectively address TMD using an oral appliance, TENS machine, Botox injections, and other proven methods she has already utilized to help other patients in your exact situation.
