Early Intervention is Key: Learn the Signs of TMD
Getting control of TMD early on is essential. The longer it goes unaddressed, the more likely it is to have more severe consequences. Make sure to keep an eye out for the symptoms of TMD. These include popping or locking of the jaw, pain, swelling, and headaches. You may also experience ringing in the ears and pain in the neck or face.
