Temporomandibular joint disorder is a very common dental problem that is characterized by a jaw that makes a clicking or popping sound when the mouth is opened or closed. Patients are also likely to notice teeth that bump into one another when eating, chewing, or even speaking. In severe cases, the jaw can stick in place, causing intense discomfort. For many, these symptoms are exacerbated by situations that cause stress or anxiety. Many patients suffering from the disorder don't even know that they have it; if left untreated, it can cause a host of dental problems, and even recurring headaches and backaches.
