TMJ Toronto Symptoms – Lock Jaw
Lock Jaw is one of the very common symptoms of TMJ Toronto area pain sufferers face. it is also an early sign of a disorder of the TMJ Toronto dentist Dr. Goodfellow says. He has successfully treated over 650 patients for TMJ syndrome.
A problem with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is degenerative. this means the root cause of the problem usually gets worse over time. So, it is wise to get proper TMJ treatment of the neuromuscular and structural cause of the problem as soon as possible before the condition gets worse and chronic pain sets in.
With lock jaw, the lower jaw often seems like it is catching when the mouth is being opened. some people with this symptom need to open their jaw wide until it unlocks. others find that moving the jaw to one side or the other will release the locking jaw.
The cause of lock jaw can be because of a bad bite or misaligned jaw.
It may also be due to clenching of the teeth. this is often not realized since it occurs during sleep.
In either case, the muscles and ligaments that have become tight need to regain their relaxed and normal position. no amount of medication can repair the misalignment. Pain medications only mask the pain for a short while and may cause side effects.
