Understanding TMJ & TMD
The TMJ, or temporomandibular joint, is a crucial joint that connects your jaw to your skull, enabling essential functions like chewing and speaking. When this joint becomes imbalanced, a condition known as TMD, or temporomandibular joint disorder, it can lead to discomfort, chronic pain, and a wide range of disruptive symptoms.
Dr. Roxanne Salavati and our expert Beverly Hills TMJ treatment team take a holistic approach to treating TMD. Together, we are dedicated to helping you resolve TMJ issues, restore comfort, and improve your overall quality of life through thoughtful, comprehensive dental care.

- Frequent headaches or migraines
- Earaches or a feeling of fullness in the ears
- Clicking, popping, or grinding sounds when opening or closing the mouth
- Difficulty fully opening or closing the mouth
