Gentle, Effective TMJ Treatment

Find Relief From Jaw Pain and Discomfort with Gentle TMJ Treatment

Do you find yourself dealing with persistent jaw pain, stiffness, or even grinding your teeth at night? TMJ disorder can quietly disrupt your life, affecting everything from how you eat to how well you sleep, and often leaves you frustrated without you knowing. You might be surprised to learn that those frequent headaches could be linked to your jaw alignment.

Recognizing the signs and talking to a caring professional like Dr. Minth at The Right Dentist is the first step toward finding lasting relief.

Understanding TMJ Disorder

TMJ, or temporomandibular joint disorder, occurs when your jaw joints aren’t moving as they should. This misalignment can place stress on the joints and the muscles in your face, leading to pain and discomfort throughout your day. It’s important to be aware of the symptoms, so you can seek help, get on track to a treatment plan that prioritizes your relief, and get back to feeling your best. If you’re unsure about whether you’re affected by TMJ or suspect you might be suffering from any of the symptoms below, please give us a call today to schedule your consultation. We’d love to meet you!

Are you experiencing any of these symptoms?

• Difficulty moving your jaw when biting or chewing due to pain or stiffness, or a general persistent tension on either side of your face.
• Popping or clicking sounds when you move your jaw
• Frequent headaches
• Pain in your face
• A tendency to grind your teeth, often unconsciously
• Pain or discomfort in your neck and shoulders

How The Right Dentist Can Help

At The Right Dentist in Rockwall, TX, we understand how frustrating TMJ disorder can be. Dr. Minth takes the time to carefully diagnose the root cause of your discomfort. We’ll work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that may include:

• Exercises to retrain your jaw: These can help improve joint function and reduce pain by giving your muscles a wider range of movement and help them relax.
• Custom oral appliances: A specially designed mouthguard can help stabilize your jaw and prevent grinding, especially while you sleep.
• Restorative dental services: In some cases, addressing underlying dental issues can improve your bite and alleviate TMJ symptoms. We’ll take extra care during your checkup to look for any factors that could be contributing and help you understand your options.
• Surgery: For more complex situations, surgery may be the most effective option for long-term relief.

Our goal is to help you find the right solution so you can say goodbye to TMJ pain and get back to enjoying life to the fullest!
