During certain times in our lives, our bodies have common physiological
reactions to deal with heightened stress. Clenching
of the teeth and jaw is just one
manifestation of stress. Here are 4 Facts about this Sign of Stress, and some tips on how to get rid of this problem for good.

1. Frustration, Depression, and Anger are common
   reasons why some people clench and grind their teeth. It is crucial to treat
   the stress in one's life that is causing the clenching and
   grinding, in order to solve the problem in
   the long run.

2. Jaw clicking and popping is
   caused by the immense pressure that is put on the teeth and jaw during clenching and grinding. This type of stress and inflammation in the jaw joint is called TMJ (temporomandibular) in medical terms.

3. The Pain of TMJ usually begins in the back of the
   jaw near the ears or wisdom teeth. TMJ
   dysfunction as it is also known, should not be ignored, as this type of pain can also be associated with Angina or even a heart attack.

4. The Symptoms of TMJ generally include a clicking
   sound when opening and closing the jaw, popping of the jaw joint, and aching around the ears and back jaw near the molars. More serious signs of the condition include facial pains, aches near the back, neck, and shoulders, and facial swelling.

TMJ and Jaw Clicking and Popping are not always symptoms of
stress. This condition could also be the result of a physical accident, bad chewing habits, or various other factors, although less likely.
