Do You Have Jaw Pain?
Many people have heard of the TMJ, but what is it? TMJ actually stands for temporomandibular joint, the joint where the skull and the lower jaw bone meet. Some people have a popping or clicking sound when they open their mouth. This is from the cartilage disc between the skull and jaw bone moving out of place. Most of the time, the disc goes back into place. Some people have no pain when this happens, others have extreme discomfort with their jaw joints.
