The Connection Between TMJ and Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)

 Bruxism, or teeth grinding, is a common cause of TMJ pain. Clenching the jaw at night or during stress can strain the TMJ, leading to stiffness, soreness, and headaches. Custom night guards, stress management, and physical therapy can help reduce jaw tension and prevent further damage.

If you grind your teeth, seek professional guidance. See a TMJ doctor nearby.
