A TMJ symptom you may notice is a clicking or popping sound when you open and close your jaw, or even when you chew. This may be due to TMJ. If the clicking is accompanied by pain, it’s worth speaking with a doctor.
There’s a strong association between TMJ disorder and teeth grinding. Long-term teeth grinding can lead to TMJ, and conversely, TMJ can lead to teeth grinding.
With both conditions being detrimental to your jaw and dental health, it’s important to take measures to address them.
