The jaw is a complicated joint and pain in the jaw (TMJ disorder) can have a range of causes.
Main points:
– Grinding your teeth places stress on the joint and damages teeth.
– An improper bite, when teeth don’t meet properly, can create tension in the jaw.
– Clicking sounds and jaw pain should be investigated.
Your dentist can help with issues like teeth-grinding and an improper bite.
“Fortunately, you can protect your teeth from grinding—you may need a nightly mouthguard, orthodontic treatment, or stress management to help stop this harmful habit.”
