If the jaw or temporomandibular joint don't work correctly, it can create discomfort and a range of other problems. It is known as TMJ disorder.

Key takeaways:

• Cartilage can deteriorate in people diagnosed with TMJ disorder and symptoms can worsen over time.
• TMJ may be associated with tinnitus, headaches and dizziness.
• Teeth-grinding is often linked with TMJ and this can damage teeth and place further stress on the joint.

A dentist can assess issues with the jaw and help formulate a treatment plan.
