With September being Pain Awareness Month, it’s the perfect time to address the discomfort caused by TMJ disorder and teeth grinding. If you’ve been dealing with TMJ pain or persistent headaches, Back Bay Family Dentistry is here to help.

TMJ Disorder and Its Effects
TMJ disorder impacts the function of the jaw joint, leading to symptoms like stiffness, popping sounds, and chronic headaches. You might also experience ear pain or difficulty chewing. 

Left untreated, it can worsen, leading to more severe dental issues and prolonged discomfort.

Teeth Grinding Wears Down More Than Just Teeth
Teeth grinding, or bruxism, can cause serious damage over time. From chipped or worn teeth to jaw pain and sleep disturbances, grinding your teeth can affect both your oral health and daily life. 

It often goes hand-in-hand with TMJ issues, making treatment even more essential.
