    Pediatric temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain can affect children and adolescents, presenting as discomfort or pain in the jaw joint and surrounding muscles. While TMJ issues are commonly associated with adults, it’s crucial to recognize that children may also experience these challenges. Various factors can contribute to pediatric TMJ pain, including jaw misalignment, teeth grinding, or habits such as thumb-sucking. Additionally, injuries, stress, and genetics can play a role.
