TMJ
What Is TMJ?
TMJ is an abbreviation for “temporomandibular joint”—that’s the joint which connects your lower jaw to your skull.
The TMJ is a complex joint which works with your muscles so you can move your jaw in multiple directions. A small piece of cartilage (soft tissue) above the joint protects it from rubbing directly against the temple bone. It also enables smooth movements of the TMJ. When something goes wrong with the TMJ, it causes the symptoms above and others.

"My teeth were a mess before I first visited Dr. Lynch. I had total dental fear, and had avoided reality for a long time. It was a hard struggle for me. Today I got a "You have come a long way" nod from Dr. Lynch, I have. My teeth feel good and look good, Thanks so much."

"Dr. Bernard Lynch is simply fantastic! In the past, I had terrible experiences with prior dentists. I am grateful to have found Dr. Lynch! I sincerely feel treated like a friend; like part of the family. He is so personal. He makes you feel as if you and your needs are important; he really cares. I once texted him at 2AM for a dental emergency. He texted me back at 5AM and I was in his chair the next morning at 7AM."
