You probably have quite a bit going on right now as you prepare for Thanksgiving and the upcoming holiday season. With advances in technology and the internet, fortunately we can ease some of the burden thanks to online grocery shopping and Black Friday coupons.<\/span><\/p>\n

Still, getting your home and your dinner table ready for Thanksgiving weekend can be really hectic. You\u2019ve managed through years worth of traveling relatives and holiday dinners with ease. But this year, you have an unwanted guest. <\/span><\/p>\n

Pain!<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, a painful, nagging headache that won\u2019t seem to go away. You\u2019ve tried over-the-counter pain relievers, but the headaches return day after day. <\/span><\/p>\n

More than that, you\u2019ve recently had a hard time opening and closing your mouth all the way. It\u2019s as if someone clamped an imaginary vice around your head! You wonder if it\u2019s related to the pain in your right ear, but then you dismiss it as too coincidental. <\/span><\/p>\n

No. You have a house to clean, a Thanksgiving menu to plan, and a guest room to prepare. The pain can wait until after the holiday. You think…<\/span><\/p>\n

Beck Dental Care may be able to lend a helpful suggestion. <\/span><\/p>\n

You could be a victim of one of the most uncomfortable and disruptive disorders we see in our Columbia, TN dental office. We\u2019re talking about <\/span><\/p>\n

TMJ<\/span><\/p>\n

, and in today\u2019s blog, you\u2019ll learn more about how it can ruin your Thanksgiving, and how with help from Beck Dental Care, you don\u2019t have to let it! <\/span><\/p>\n

TMJ Pain Can Ruin Your Thanksgiving<\/i><\/b><\/h2>\n

TMJ is the temporomandibular joint just below your ears. It\u2019s that hinge that\u2019s constantly in motion when you yawn, speak, laugh, and chew. TMJ, which is commonly accepted to mean TMJ disorder, can occur when your jaw joint is somehow misaligned. <\/span><\/p>\n

It can be spurred by an accident or injury that involves jaw trauma or even if you\u2019re under a lot of stress that has you, perhaps unwittingly, keeping your jaw locked and clenched tightly all throughout the day. <\/span><\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t necessarily matter if the misalignment happens suddenly, it was a more gradual shift, or whether it\u2019s something you\u2019ve always had. The symptoms are just as miserable and disruptive to your life either way!<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are some shared symptoms TMJ sufferers deal with: <\/span><\/p>\n

-Painful headaches<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

-Clicking or popping sounds when you chew<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

-Tension in the facial region<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

-Pain similar to an earache<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

-Sore, tense muscles in the neck, shoulders, and back<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

-Painful chewing<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

-Lockjaw<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

-Teeth grinding & clenching<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

That\u2019s a pretty hefty list of symptoms, and by the looks of it, it\u2019s no wonder why this disorder makes it\u2019s so tough to go about your day to day life!<\/span><\/p>\n

But Beck Dental Care can help you!<\/span><\/p>\n

Enjoy A Pain-Free Thanksgiving With TMJ Treatment<\/i><\/b><\/h2>\n

Although experts have never pointed to just one specific cause of TMJ, there does seem to be agreement on some common factors that pose an increased risk for TMJ among patients:<\/span><\/p>\n

-Poorly positioned teeth<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

-Trauma to the jaw<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

-Pain sensitivity<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

-Poor posture<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

-Females ages 18-44<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

-Chronic Stress<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

-Inflammatory arthritis<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

All these risk factors aside, anyone can suffer from TMJ disorder. But fortunately, you don\u2019t have to suffer for long thanks to Beck Dental Care!<\/span><\/p>\n
