Tmj Jaw Dysfunction

About Tmj Jaw Dysfunction

Jaw pain is easy to brush off until it starts affecting everything else, and many people come to DrTalks to find out why. Clenching and grinding, jaw and neck pain, headaches, ear pain with nothing wrong in the ear, and poor sleep or snoring are all things these experts see every day. These talks also go past the jaw. TMJ problems are tied to your airway, sleep apnea, posture, dental infections, the nervous system and even brain health. You'll find conversations on myofunctional therapy, why body asymmetry matters, how root canals and gum disease affect the whole body, and craniosacral therapy. Dentists, doctors and bodywork practitioners explain what's actually going on, which tests are worth asking your provider about, from dental imaging to sleep studies, and what helps, from oral appliances and myofunctional therapy to biological dentistry, breathwork and calming the nervous system.
