TMJ, or temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD), involve pain or dysfunction in the jaw joint and surrounding muscles. Symptoms can include jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds, headaches, ear or facial pain, and even ringing in the ears. Common causes include jaw injury, teeth grinding or clenching, misalignment, and stress. Early evaluation by a Board-certified Orofacial Pain Specialist is key to proper treatment and lasting relief.

 

Dr. Riley is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orofacial Pain—the only board-certified specialist in central and northern Mississippi. He previously served as a clinical instructor at UMMC School of Dentistry and frequently lectures on TMJ diagnosis and management.
