Tempomandibular Disease, or TMD tends to cluster in high stress professions (physicians, lawyers, consultants, traders, etc.) and is more likely to occur when the individual is experiencing a high level of stress. This stress leads to teeth grinding and clenching and the associated head, neck and shoulder pain.
Individuals experiencing symptoms of prolonged pain or sensitivity may require treatment for their TMJ problem. For many patients, TMD symptoms can be controlled with nightguard therapy. In some cases, Botox can also be used to better control TMD symptoms.
