When you open your mouth, do you hear a popping or rasping sound? Do you have pain when you try to open your mouth, or move your lower jaw from side to side? In this case, you may be suffering from temporomandibular joint pain, or temporomandibular dysfunction. Here is a list of its common symptoms:

• Pain in the neck and (or) shoulders

• Symptoms affecting the ears, including hearing loss, ringing or pain

•Grinding or clenching of teeth during sleep

•Chronic feeling of fatigue

• Constant headaches localized in the temples or above the eyes

The symptoms described above correspond to those of temporomandibular joint pain, but they may be caused by another condition. This is why it is very important to get a proper diagnosis, in order to treat the problem accordingly. Clinique Dentaire Khieu will be happy to perform a comprehensive examination and recommend a treatment plan based on your specific symptoms and concerns. If we deem it necessary, we will use other treatment partners, including a chiropractor, craniomandibular specialist, physiotherapist or massage therapist. In this case, we will recommend potential treatment partners to you, while working together to relieve your symptoms.
