What Is TMJ/TMD?

The Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) is the actual jaw joint and its surrounding muscles. TMD is a condition that affects the temporomandibular joint. It is often attributed to trauma, teeth grinding and clenching (bruxism), osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Signs of TMD can occur suddenly and last indefinitely. See a TMJ dentist if you experience the following symptoms:

Pain in the jaw, neck, or face

Limited mobility of the jaw

Clicking/popping as the jaw opens

Lock jaw

Ear aches or tooth aches

Chronic migraines

Treatments from a TMJ Dentist

Our TMJ dentists can alleviate your symptoms with a range of treatments, from at-home therapies to jaw surgery. Initially, simple muscle stretches, warm compresses, and over-the-counter pain relievers may be employed. However, if your symptoms persist, our TMJ dentists may recommend a nightguard, or jaw surgery to provide you with proper care.

Improve Bite Alignment with Occlusal Adjustment

Sometimes when you close your teeth together, they may feel uncomfortable. This can be the result of many factors, including bite misalignment, tooth wear, or interference from a new restoration. This interference creates a change in the way your teeth fit together, resulting in symptoms similar to TMJ, including jaw pain in Palm Harbor, FL. Our TMJ dentists can quickly detect the source of the interference and adjust your bite by filing the areas of improper contact.
