This can lead to facial pain, headaches, discomfort and clicking when biting or chewing, migraines as well as neck and shoulder pain, and even back pain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Symptoms of TMJ Disorder<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some common symptoms of TMJ disorder include:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pain in the jaw, neck, cheek, ear or shoulders<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Headaches<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Discomfort when biting the teeth together<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Restricted movement when chewing<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Inability to fully close the mouth<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Clicking sounds when moving the jaw<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jaw Treatment in London<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you recognise any of these symptoms or suffer from them on a daily basis, you will need to see a dentist to treat your problems or refer you to a specialist if necessary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In some cases, the treatment includes wearing a hard plastic appliance at night. This is made to measure and is fitted onto your bite accurately so that when you bite on it, your teeth are in a position where your muscles are relaxed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This also stops your teeth from becoming worn down by grinding and protects them. Depending on the origin and severity of your problem, you may need <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/xenodochial-kalam.194-164-95-197.plesk.page\/orthodontics-london\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">orthodontic treatment<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> or maxillofacial surgery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Other solutions may include replacing <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/xenodochial-kalam.194-164-95-197.plesk.page\/missing-teeth\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">missing teeth<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> or adjusting any ill-fitting bridgework that you may have. The important thing to do is to see your dentist as soon as possible, so your jaw problems do not become worse over time and require more drastic measures to correct.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is essential that you come into the practice for regular check-ups so we can help you maintain good oral health and help solve any issues with jaw pain or discomfort.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For more information or for advice and support, please <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/xenodochial-kalam.194-164-95-197.plesk.page\/email-us\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">get in touch<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.<\/span><\/span><\/p><\/div>[vc_separator][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?time_continue=50&amp;v=wBfPMEpTqxM&amp;feature=emb_logo&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1573569841817{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221;]<header class=\"fancy-title text-center ld_section_title_6a7b163a5ed50\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"st-desc\"><h3>Book Treatment<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/header>[vc_btn title=&#8221;Online Appointent&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fuk.dentalhub.online%2Fv1%2Fview%2Forganization%2F1153%2Findex.html%23%2Fperspectives%2F3&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1573574697052{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_separator][vc_video link=&#8221;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?time_continue=50&amp;v=wBfPMEpTqxM&amp;feature=emb_logo&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1573569841817{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-7847","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Jaw Problems | Private Dentist Victoria | London Dental Care |<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Jaw problems can lead to bad bite and other physical discomfort.
