TMJ

Temporomandibular Joint Disorder, or TMJ affects 15% of Americans. Some common symptoms include pain in or around the ear, tenderness of the jaw, clicking or popping noises when opening the mouth, or even head and neck aches. Treatment of TMJ may involve a series of steps. TM disorders can result when the jaw muscles or jaw joints are affected. The joint, ligaments, and muscles used for chewing and grinding food may all be involved. We can fit you for a Night Guard to prevent you from grinding or clenching your teeth while you sleep. We also offer other treatments for temporomandibular joint disorders, such as stress reducing exercises or muscle relaxants.
