When is TMJ surgery needed?
TMJ treatment is usually considered when jaw joint pain, clicking or stiffness affects everyday eating, speaking or sleep and does not improve with simpler care.
Signs to look for:
- Jaw pain, clicking or grating
- The jaw locking or catching when you open
- Difficulty or discomfort chewing
- Headaches or aching around the jaw and ears
- Tension linked to clenching or grinding
After TMJ surgery, aftercare may include a soft diet, gentle jaw exercises, prescribed medication and follow-up appointments to support movement and healing.
If any of these sound familiar, we can assess the cause and recommend the most suitable treatment for your symptoms.
