Temporomandibular joint dysfunction treatment

Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction Syndrome (TMJ) is a common condition affecting a wide variety of people. TMJ is characterized by severe headaches, jaw pain of varying degrees, grinding teeth, and an intermittent ringing in the ears. The vast majority of TMJ sufferers are unaware that the root cause of these problems is something that a dentist can effectively treat. The symptoms of TMJ are debilitating and can greatly interfere with everyday life. The comfort and general well being of the patient are at the heart of the dental practice, so pain relief is the first consideration of the dentist. Our dental team are able to test, diagnose, and devise an immediate plan to treat the underlying causes of the TMJ disorder.

What Causes Jaw Pain?
The most common cause of jaw pain is due to an injury or abnormality affecting the joint hinging your jaw, called the temporomandibular joint. It’s a problem called a temporomandibular joint disorder or TMD or TMJ and is estimated to affect nearly 10 million people in the United States alone.

Several different things can cause TMJ as it can be due to the muscles controlling jaw movement becoming painful, or because of injury to the jaw joint. Excessively stimulating the jaw joint can cause jaw pain, and sometimes the disc that helps to cushion jaw movements becomes displaced or damaged. This disc can also become affected by arthritis.
