Struggling with persistent jaw pain, TMJ issues, or facial trauma?
You’re not alone—and help is closer than you think. At Al Bustan Plus Medical Center in Al Shahama, Abu Dhabi, our skilled oral and maxillofacial surgery team offers advanced diagnostics and surgical solutions tailored to restore comfort, function, and facial harmony.
In this blog, we explain the causes and symptoms of jaw disorders, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, and facial trauma, and how our maxillofacial surgeons in Abu Dhabi can help you recover safely and confidently.
Understanding Jaw Pain and TMJ Disorders
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jawbone to your skull and is essential for daily functions like speaking, chewing, and yawning. When something goes wrong with this joint or its surrounding muscles, the result is often referred to as TMJ disorder (TMD).
Common Symptoms of TMJ Disorders:
- Clicking or popping sound when opening the mouth
- Jaw pain or tenderness
- Difficulty chewing or biting
- Lockjaw (limited jaw movement)
- Frequent headaches or earaches
- Pain radiating to the neck or shoulders
If you are experiencing these symptoms in Al Shahama or anywhere in Abu Dhabi, it’s time to seek evaluation by a qualified maxillofacial surgeon.
Facial Trauma: Causes and Complications
Facial injuries can occur due to car accidents, sports injuries, falls, or assaults. These traumas can result in:
- Fractured jaws (mandibular or maxillary)
- Cheekbone (zygomatic) fractures
- Orbital (eye socket) injuries
- Dental trauma and avulsed teeth
- Soft tissue damage
Prompt and professional care from an oral and maxillofacial specialist in Abu Dhabi is essential to restore both function and appearance.
