Muscles can get overworked and sore. If you’ve ever hit the gym after being away for months, you know what that feels like. In the same way, your jaw muscles can get sore if you chewed or talked a lot in a given day. But there is a condition called TMD where your jaw joint (called the TMJ) gets sore. TMD has several symptoms such as jaw pain, difficulty open and closing your mouth, and a popping or clicking noise when you use your jaw. TMD can even lead to lockjaw, where you cannot move your jaw anymore. If you have any of these symptoms, visit us as soon as possible.
