TMJD disorder and headaches

One out of every 10 Americans suffers from chronic headaches, and they spend over half a billion dollars every year for over-the-counter medications to relieve their pain. They never imagine that their headaches may be caused by TMJD, and that their pain is the result of a bad bite.

At Dr Charles Botbol and Associates - Esthetic and Family Dentistry we know a bad bite can put your jaw-to-skull relationship out of alignment.

When this happens, TMJD symptoms occur. This cluster of symptoms can include: headaches, earaches, ear ringing, loud jaw clicking, even stiffness and pain in the jaw, neck, shoulders and back. This cluster has puzzled doctors in the past. Now we can put a name to it: TMJD.

According to recent studies, more than 40 million Americans (including many in the Toronto, North York & Richmond Hill areas) suffer with TMJD (Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction) or MPD (Myofascial Pain Dysfunction). The good news is that we at Dr Charles Botbol and Associates - Esthetic and Family Dentistry are taking the lead in finding solutions.

If you, or someone you love, suffer from the symptoms of TMJD, set up an appointment by calling us at (416) 226-2000 soon. You may find that TMJD is the missing piece in the puzzle -- and, that the treatment works!
