Home More advice Health

I was looking on the computer and I have all the symtoms of tmj. and I know ill probably have to get a splint or something but if that dont work I know ill have to get that surgery thing and I wanted to know if the surgeon opens your jaw from the inside or outside? because I wouldnt want them to cut the outside of my face?
