Have you ever woken up in the morning and tried to brush your teeth, but you couldn’t quite open your mouth wide enough to reach the back molars? Maybe you wince at the pain you feel in front of your ear when you go to yawn, or you hear a clicking sound when you open and close your mouth.

If you’ve experienced any of these symptoms, there is a chance that you could be suffering from temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD).

If you’ve ever attended a concert or been exposed to loud noises, chances are you’ve experienced ringing, buzzing, or clicking in your ears afterward. Medically known as tinnitus, this common condition can be annoying or frustrating, but it is luckily not life-threatening. Around 10% of Americans have experienced some form of tinnitus for at least 5 minutes in the last year, so it’s important to recognize the symptoms and understand your treatment options.
