One out of every 10 Americans
suffers from chronic headaches, and they spend over half a billion dollars
every year for over-the-counter medications to relieve their pain. They
never imagine that their headaches may be caused by TMJ, and that their
pain is the result of a bad bite.
A bad bite can put your jaw-to-skull relationship out of alignment.
When this happens, TMJ symptoms occur. This cluster of symptoms can
include: headaches, earaches, ear ringing, loud jaw clicking, even
stiffness and pain in the jaw, neck, shoulders and back. This cluster has
puzzled doctors in the past. Now we can put a name to it: TMJ.
According to recent studies, more than 40 million Americans suffer with
TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction) or MPD (Myofascial Pain
Dysfunction). The good news is dentists are taking the lead in finding
solutions.
If you, or someone you love, suffer from the symptoms of TMJ, set up an
appointment with your dentist soon. You may find that TMJ is the missing
piece in the puzzle -- and, that the treatment works! |
