Understanding TMD

TMD affects the temporomandibular joint, which connects your jaw to your skull. This joint plays a crucial role in chewing, speaking, and other jaw movements. When it malfunctions, it can lead to a variety of symptoms, including:

• Jaw pain
• Headaches
• Earaches
• Difficulty chewing
• Clicking or popping sounds
• Lockjaw
• Facial pain

These symptoms can vary in intensity and may come and go. If you experience any of these symptoms, our practice can help. We use a comprehensive approach to diagnose and treat TMD, ensuring that we address the root cause of your discomfort.

Advanced Diagnostic Tools

Accurate diagnosis is the first step in effective TMD treatment. We use state-of-the-art technology to diagnose TMD, including:

• Digital X-rays: These provide clear images of your jaw and help us identify any abnormalities or misalignments in the joint.
• 3D Imaging: This offers detailed views of the joint and surrounding structures, allowing us to see any issues that may not be visible with traditional X-rays.

These diagnostic tools enable us to gain a comprehensive understanding of your condition. With accurate information, we can develop a targeted treatment plan that addresses your specific needs.

Effective Treatment Options

Once we have a clear diagnosis, we offer a variety of treatment options to address TMD. Our practice provides both non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments, including:

• Oral Appliances: Custom-made splints or night guards reduce stress on the jaw joint. These appliances help reposition the jaw and alleviate pressure on the joint.
• Physical Therapy: Specialized exercises and manual therapies improve jaw function and reduce pain. Our physical therapists work with you to strengthen and stretch the jaw muscles.
• Medications: Anti-inflammatory drugs and muscle relaxants reduce pain and inflammation. These medications can provide relief from acute symptoms.

We tailor treatments to your specific needs, ensuring that you receive the most effective care possible. Our goal is to relieve your pain and improve your quality of life. We work closely with you to monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
