Common TMD Symptoms

Neuromuscular Dentist in Orlando, Florida

Due to the wide range of motion afforded by the jaw joint, the symptoms of Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD) are wide-ranging and often serious.

Some of the clinical TMD signs are:

  • Headaches
  • Facial pain
  • Ringing in the ears or ear pain
  • Worn down teeth
  • Cervical and neck problems
  • Tingling in the fingertips
  • Sore, sensitive teeth
  • Neck and shoulder aches
  • Clicking or popping of the jaw
  • Tooth grinding, also referred to as bruxism
  • Forward head posturing
  • Vertigo or dizziness

Unfortunately, many people suffering from these and other symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorders live with their symptoms for years before the condition is properly diagnosed and treated.

Neuromuscular dentistry is a very specialized field, so many general physicians and even dentists are insufficiently familiar with the signs of TMD to recognize the condition, much less effectively determine the type and extent of the problems and treat them.

Dr. Castellini’s Orlando Advanced Cosmetic Dentistry practice uses computerized equipment to diagnose and treat TMD, which is key to success in the treatment of neuromuscular disorders.
