You and your Jaw Joints in the City of Leeds

Your jaw joints are two of the tiniest in the body and do an incredible amount of work throughout your life with eating and talking and grinding away. Your dentist will have probably subjected you to many ‘atrocities’ during your early life in the city ofLeeds: fillings, tooth alignment, and in later life, crowns and tooth replacement. The reason for all of this is to ensure that the occlusion (bite) is kept true in order to take away any extra forces from damaging your jaw joints. Other problems to this area can come from teeth grinding or sports: grinding can cause the most horrific injuries to your jaws and also the rest of your upper body and at the first sign of jaw ache or ‘clicking’ when you move your jaw, then seek immediate treatment; sports, if you love to play them, then make sure that you get the right mouth-guard to reduce the risk of injury because here’s the deal. Running close to your jaws is your neck, through which runs your central nervous system; damage to your jaws can damage the vertebrae as well, and the result is that your nerves will also become vulnerable to damage. Damage to the jaws will take some intense surgery to put right, so you should try to think ahead and limit the stresses that you put them through on a daily basis.
