TMJ Treatment
Services
Do you suffer from pain or soreness in the jaw when you chew, yawn, or laugh? TMJ stands for ‘Temporomandibular Joint’ and refers to the joints in the jaw located on both sides of the face.
However, pain isn’t the only symptom that can indicate a disorder of this joint. Some patients may notice popping or grinding sounds when moving their jaw. Others might experience tenderness, stiffness, or locking of their jaw. In fact, dentists often look for more than just pain when diagnosing TMD.
Treatment
Pain management is often a critical aspect of treatment, as most patients request help with TMD due to some pain level. Such patients may find some relief with hot or cold therapy. Jaw strengthening exercises can also be practical for some—think of them as physical therapy for your jaw muscles. Pain medication can also be effective for managing pain on a short-term basis.
If you have frequent & severe head or neck pain, you owe it to yourself to investigate our doctor’s life-changing approach to correcting these TMJ problems. Request an appointment for a consultation to discuss what we can do for you.
