Understanding TMJ

TMJ Disorders.

TMD pain can come from your jaw joint or the muscles that help move your jaw.  This is why your doctor will examine your jaw joint and the muscles in your head and neck.
The function of your TMJ allows your mouth to move up and down and side to side. When it is properly aligned, your teeth meet in their proper bite position, allowing normal functions such as chewing and speaking to occur properly and without discomfort.

Dr. Rozenberg will perform a complete evaluation. It may include:

  • A review of your medical, dental, and pain history
  • A brief social and psychological history
  • A physical examination of your head and neck, including muscles, nerves,  jaw joints, and mouth
  • Additional testing which may include X-Rays, CT, MRI, laboratory tests, diagnostic injections, or other tests
