Pediatric Ear Pain

Addressing Pediatric Ear Pain With Expert Care

Is your child experiencing persistent ear pain? It might be more than just a passing discomfort. At the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of O’ahu, we specialize in understanding the unique challenges of pediatric ear pain, often associated with temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.

Recognizing Pediatric TMJ-Related Ear Pain

Children may not always express their discomfort verbally, making it challenging for parents to identify the root cause of ear pain. TMJ disorders in children can manifest as ear pain, and it’s crucial to be aware of potential signs and symptoms. Here are some common indicators:

• Frequent Earaches: If your child is complaining of ear pain often, it could be linked to TMJ issues.
• Difficulty Chewing or Eating: Discomfort in the jaw joint may affect a child’s ability to chew or open their mouth fully.
• Changes in Behavior: TMJ-related ear pain can lead to irritability, changes in eating habits, or difficulty sleeping.
• Tugging or Holding the Ear: Younger children may instinctively tug or hold their ear when experiencing TMJ-related discomfort.
