Could You Be Suffering from a TMJ Disorder?

Unexplained headaches, ear aches, neck pain, and jaw stiffness, can all be signs of a degenerative group of conditions known as Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorder. Your temporomandibular joints are located just in front of each ear and are responsible for regulating the muscles that open and close your jaw. TMJ disorders can occur when the chewing muscles and the temporomandibular joint stop working properly. When this happens, the surrounding muscles cramp and spasm becoming part of a cycle that results in tissue damage, pain, reduced functioning, and muscle tenderness. If you suspect that your pain and discomfort are associated with TMJ disorder, make an appointment with Dr. Davey today for your TMJ disorder evaluation. Dr. Davey and his experienced and caring team at Texas Got Smile can help you find answers and relief.  Texas Got Smile proudly restores smiles throughout Sugar Land, TX, Houston, Richmond, Katy, and the surrounding communities.
