Find Relief from Jaw Pain
If you're experiencing jaw pain, tenderness, or discomfort, you may be dealing with temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ/TMD). This condition affects the joint connecting your jaw to your skull, leading to symptoms like jaw pain, headaches, earaches, and difficulty moving your jaw. TMJ/TMD can significantly impact daily activities like eating and speaking.
Luckily, TMJ/TMD can be managed with the right treatment. Our skilled dentists offer solutions such as custom mouthguards, physical therapy, and in more severe cases, surgical options, to relieve pain and restore jaw health. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and start your path to relief.
Causes
We offer professional in-office whitening that can eliminate years of stains in just about an hour. For at-home convenience, we also create custom whitening trays that fit your teeth perfectly. Together, we'll determine the best whitening plan for you, and sometimes we combine both methods for optimal short- and long-term results.
Symptoms
We use only the highest quality whitening formulas, ensuring safety and consistent results with professional-grade strength and rigorous quality control. Be cautious of temperature-sensitive gels or those from unknown sources, as they may not provide reliable or safe results.
Treatment
There are several effective treatments for TMJ/TMD, depending on the underlying cause of your condition. If your TMJ pain is related to an improper bite, orthodontic treatments like clear aligners or braces may help correct the alignment of your teeth and jaw. For those experiencing TMJ/TMD due to teeth grinding, a custom nightguard can help prevent tooth-on-tooth contact and reduce strain on the jaw.
Another common solution is oral appliance therapy, which involves using a device similar to a nightguard or sports mouthguard. These appliances are designed to shift the jaw into a more comfortable position, relieving pressure on the temporomandibular joint and promoting healing. The right treatment for your TMJ/TMD will depend on the specific cause of your discomfort. If you're experiencing symptoms of TMJ/TMD, it’s essential to consult with an experienced dentist for an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment plan.
