Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD) aren’t exactly rare. In fact, around 12 million adults in the US experience jaw pain and dysfunction due to TMD.
But while most people are aware that TMD can cause pain and clicking in the jaw, one symptom is often overlooked: dizziness. And while dizziness is a less common symptom, it can be a major problem for some people with TMD.
So, can jaw problems cause dizziness? This article will explore the connection between TMD and dizziness, the potential causes, associated symptoms, and available treatment options. We’ll also touch on other potential causes of dizziness since, of course, jaw problems aren’t the only culprit.
