 TMJ disorder describes a variety of conditions affecting the temporomandibular joint (the point where the jaw opens and closes) and nerves related to chronic facial pain. These problems are now more easily diagnosed
by Dr. Mortensen and treated than in the past. Women are twice as likely to be affected than men.
In most cases, the symptoms related to TMJ disorders can be
successfully treated to reduce or eliminate your discomfort.
Postponement of treatment usually results in more damage to the
joint, muscles, or teeth. Be sure to discuss any questions you may
have about TMJ symptoms and treatment plans with Dr. Mortensen before
beginning.
