Jaw pain isn’t “just jaw pain.” It often shows up as TMJ disorder (TMD), teeth grinding, clenching, headaches, migraines, neck stiffness, ear ringing, or even tooth pain. For many people, it makes eating, speaking, and visiting the dentist harder than it should be.

In this episode of Gums & Gossip, Hope sits down with massage therapist Katie to uncover the hidden ways TMJ and jaw tension affect everyday life. You’ll hear real stories from the dental chair, how muscle imbalances can mimic dental problems, and why so many people mistake jaw pain for sinus issues or toothaches.

Katie shares practical, drug-free solutions—including self-massage techniques, posture tips, and stress management tools—that can help relieve jaw pain and support long-term dental health.

✨ If you’ve ever searched for “TMJ relief,” “jaw pain treatment,” or “how to stop teeth grinding,” this conversation is for you.
