Have you ever experienced a stubborn toothache that just won’t go away, even though your dentist says you have no cavity? Or maybe you hear a clicking or popping sound when you open your mouth wide?

The surprising culprit might not be your teeth at all — it could be a problem with your Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ), the hinge that connects your lower jaw to your skull.

At Vision Multispeciality Dental Hospital, one of the best dental hospitals in Guntur, Dr. Abhilash and Dr. Lathasree often see patients who mistake TMJ-related pain for a typical toothache. Understanding this connection can help you find the right solution and finally get relief from chronic jaw or facial pain.
