Jaw joint

Understanding how your jaw moves.

Symptoms involving the jaw joint and chewing muscles require their own assessment.

When is it considered?

Jaw pain, limited opening or joint sounds may prompt investigation of the cause.

The history, muscles, joint and jaw movements are examined. Referral and individual approaches are discussed when needed.

Changes in symptoms and daily habits are reviewed. Advice is tailored to the individual.

Not every joint sound requires treatment. Conservative approaches, splints where appropriate and other options depend on clinical assessment.

This website does not replace a dental examination or an individual treatment plan.
