Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ)
TMJ stands for the temporomandibular joint, the little round joint that lies in front of the ear between the temporal bone ( the cheek bone) and the mandible (the lower jaw.) Often people use the acronym 'TMJ' to refer to temporomandibular joint dysfunction or disorder - that is, pain and stiffness in this joint and the muscles around it.
TMJ can cause a wide variety of symptoms related to the movement of the jaw. They can include earaches, headaches, an inability to open the mouth very far, painful clicking or popping noises when chewing or talking, and stiffness or pain in the jaw, face, or neck. Sometimes TMJ symptoms seem to go in cycles, getting better or going away for a while only to come back again. Symptoms can be mild and not very bothersome, or so persistent and painful as to be almost debilitating.
There can be many potential causes of TMJ. An injury or trauma to the jaw, arthritis, or grinding the teeth can all contribute to TMJ. The temporomandibular joint contains a small disc of cartilage that allows it to move smoothly, and this disc can become dislocated or torn. Sometimes the cause is unknown. There are no standard tests for TMJ, and it can be difficult to diagnose and treat.
Mild cases of TMJ may benefit from self-care such as eating soft foods, practicing stress management techniques, and applying ice packs to the jaw. NSAIDS, such as ibuprofen, can be purchased without a prescription and work to reduce pain and inflammation. Some dentists and occupational therapists can suggest stretching techniques for the jaw which may help relieve stiffness. More serious cases may require a form of splinting called a stabilization splint or bite plate, which helps reduce pressure on the joint. Extreme cases may benefit from arthroscopic surgery on the joint.

In 2015, I was referred to Dr. Edibam by my endodontists after an extremely painful month of unsuccessfully trying to save a tooth with a root canal. I was forced to face the reality that I needed to have the tooth extracted. I was mortified! Dr. Edibam was extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and personable which put me at ease. He was very thorough about explaining the extraction procedure and my treatment plan options. I chose to prepare the area for a future implant. He extracted the tooth first thing in the morning and without any complications and minimal discomfort I was able to return to work that day. After the extraction, I needed to wait about 3 months for the bone to heal before the implant. During this time Dr. Edibam changed practices. Having had put my trust and confidence in Dr. Edibam because of his skill and expertise, I followed him to his new practice in Stamford. Happily, I found the new office to be very accommodating, friendly, and professional. Dr. Edibam was just as I remembered, knowledgeable and personable. We continued with the implant prep, procedure, and follow-up. I was impressed by all the advanced technology and equipment. It allowed for a faster more thorough assessment, a less painful procedure, and a successfully completed implant. I continue to put my trust in Dr. Edibam when major dental work is necessary.
