Quick one for anyone who wakes up with jaw soreness or temple headaches that nobody seems to be able to fix. It's often your jaw, not your head. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) sits right in front of your ear, and the muscles that move it run up into your temple. If you grind or clench at night, those muscles get exhausted, and you wake up feeling like you've been to the gym from the neck up. Signs to watch for: Jaw stiffness in the morning. A clicking or popping sound when you open wide. Difficulty opening fully (less than three fingers stacked vertically between your front teeth). Pain when you yawn. Worn-down edges on your front teeth. Headaches starting in the temple, not the back of the head. Treatment usually starts with a custom night guard, which stops the grinding from damaging your teeth and lets the muscles rest. Physiotherapy and stress management often help. Severe cases sometimes need bite correction. If this sounds like you, ask us about a TMJ evaluation at our Delhi clinic. #TMJ #JawPain #Headaches #NightGuard #DelhiDentist
