Taking care of your smile includes more than just biannual checkups and a good oral hygiene routine. You should also be aware of problems like TMJ dysfunction, which happens when your jaw does not hinge properly. If you begin to have symptoms of TMJ or bruxism, it’s important to talk to your dentist right away to determine a diagnosis and find an effective treatment.
