Treatment for TMJ Syndrome

Every time you open your mouth to eat, speak, yawn or smile, the temporomandibular joint (the “hinge” between the upper and lower jaw) is hard at work. Sometimes stress, an improper bite or facial injury can bring on symptoms like clicking or popping sounds when you open you mouth, jaw locking or stiffness, severe headaches, ringing in the ears or tender, painful jaw muscles. This collection of symptoms is sometimes known as “TMJ.” Dr. Williams has a deep understanding of the causes, symptoms an treatment options, both surgical and no surgical, available to help you, so there’s no reason to suffer any longer.
