What Is TMJ Disorder?
TMJ disorder, short for temporomandibular joint disorder, affects the joint that connects your jaw to your skull. This joint helps you talk, chew, and yawn, so when something goes wrong, it can cause pain or discomfort in your jaw, face, ears, or neck. Common signs of TMJ disorder are:
- Clicking or popping when chewing
- Jaw pain or tightness
- Difficulty opening or closing your mouth
- Chronic headaches or neck pain
- Teeth grinding (bruxism)
At King West Dentistry, we’re here to help you understand your symptoms and find the right solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have TMJ or something else?
Porcelain veneers are not permanent, but they are very long-lasting. With good care, they typically last 10 – 15 years before needing replacement.
Will insurance cover TMJ treatment?
Coverage for TMD treatments depends on your insurance plan. Many dental insurance plans cover non-invasive treatments like night guards (occlusal splints) and diagnostic exams, but some exclude TMD-related services, so it’s essential to verify with your provider.
Does TMJ go away on its own?
Mild TMD symptoms, such as occasional jaw pain or clicking, may improve on their own with rest, stress reduction, or avoiding hard foods. However, persistent or severe cases may worsen without treatment. That’s why early treatment gives better long-term results.
Is BOTOX safe for TMJ?
BOTOX may be used off-label to treat TMD by reducing jaw muscle tension and pain, particularly in myofascial pain cases. It’s generally safe when administered by a trained dental professional. However, you should discuss risks and benefits with your provider to determine if BOTOX is suitable for you.
How long does TMJ treatment take?
TMD treatment relief time varies by method and severity. Night guards or physical therapy may ease symptoms in 2 – 4 weeks, but lasting results often take months. BOTOX can help in days to a week, lasting about 12 weeks. This method usually needs 2 – 3 sessions over months.
