Temporomandibular Joint Assessment

A Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Assessment evaluates the function and structure of the jaw joint, surrounding muscles, and associated symptoms. This assessment is typically conducted by a dentist, physiotherapist, or medical specialist trained in TMJ disorders.

​

The assessment includes a detailed history of jaw pain, clicking, or limited movement, followed by a physical exam to assess joint alignment, range of motion, muscle tenderness, and bite function.

When is a TMJ Assessment needed?

This assessment is recommended for individuals who:

  • Experience jaw pain, locking, or clicking,

  • Have difficulty chewing, talking, or opening the mouth fully,

  • Report facial pain, headaches, or ear discomfort,

  • Have sustained head, neck, or facial trauma after an accident,

  • Have been referred for assessment of chronic facial or neck pain.
