Relief for jaw pain, clicking, and the headaches that often come with them.
General Dentistry
The temporomandibular joint connects your jaw to your skull. When it isn't working properly, the effects reach well beyond your mouth.
Symptoms worth mentioning to us
- Jaw pain, tenderness or fatigue when chewing
- Clicking or popping when you open your mouth
- Frequent headaches, especially in the morning
- Worn, flattened or chipped tooth surfaces
Recognising the Symptoms
TMJ disorders often show up as jaw pain or tenderness, a clicking or popping sound when you open your mouth, difficulty chewing, or a jaw that feels like it catches. Many patients also live with recurring headaches, earaches or neck tension without connecting them to their jaw.
Because the symptoms overlap with so many other conditions, TMJ problems frequently go undiagnosed for years.
Finding the Cause, Then Treating It
We start by examining your jaw, your bite and the wear patterns on your teeth. Grinding and clenching — often during sleep — are common contributors.
Treatment may involve a custom night guard to protect your teeth and relieve pressure on the joint, bite adjustment, or a combination of approaches. We will explain what we find and why we're recommending a particular course.
