Diagnosis
An evaluation begins with a thorough medical history to learn about symptoms and related medical conditions. A physical exam is performed to determine whether the problem is caused solely by the TMJ. This exam can include a complete oral, head, and neck exam (including testing the patient's bite and range of motion in the joints), a neurological exam (used more frequently for patients with severe or chronic pain), and basic X-rays, CT scans and magnetic resonance imaging, as needed.
