At Everything Dental, we are proud to offer temporomandibular joint dysfunction, otherwise known as TMJ, treatments to provide relief for our patients. TMJ is caused by an inflammation in the temporomandibular joint, which acts as a sliding hinge that connects your jawbone to your skull.

What are the symptoms of TMJ?

TMJ causes pain and discomfort along the jawbone and can make it painful to even move your jaw. While jaw pain and discomfort doesn’t always equate to TMJ if you are also experiencing headaches, trouble chewing, or pain in the face, jaw, and ear, you’re more than likely experiencing TMJ.

While at-home treatments such as ice packs and pain relievers are the first step in remediating the symptoms of TMJ, if your pain does not alleviate, we recommend seeking medical treatment from your dentist. We will identify the cause of your pain and recommend the best treatment plan and course of action to help you feel better in no time.

For more information on TMJ treatment or to schedule an appointment, please don’t hesitate to contact us today at (832) 847-6677. We will schedule an appointment so we can discuss your options. We will do everything we can to help you have a beautiful, pain-free smile!
