In the case above, the nurse may suspect that a temporomandibular disorder is happening to the patient.

Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is a disorder of the jaw muscles, the temporomandibular joints, and the nerves associated with it. It can be caused by various things, such as trauma, an improper bite, arthritis, or simply wear and tear.

The symptoms of TMD commonly include jaw tenderness, facial pain, earaches, and headaches. It can also be shown as limited movement and stiffness of the jaw as well as a clicking sound from the TMD site. Fortunately, TMD can be cured permanently with proper treatment and care.
