TMJ Treatment
Are you suffering from TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) issues? If so, you may benefit from treatment by a dentist. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the hinge joint that connects the lower jawbone to the skull. TMJ issues can cause severe pain, popping and clicking of the jaw, and limited mobility.
Fortunately, there are several treatments available for TMJ issues. Proper treatment can help reduce pain and restore mobility through a variety of treatments, including splints, physical therapy, and medications.
Splints are plastic oral appliances that are designed to fit over the teeth. They help to stabilize the jaw and reduce strain on the Temporomandibular joint. They can be custom-made by your dentist to ensure a comfortable fit and maximum effectiveness.
Physical therapy is also a great way to reduce pain and restore mobility. Through physical therapy, your dentist can guide you through exercises and stretches to reduce pain and increase range of motion in the jaw.
Certain medications can also help to reduce inflammation and pain caused by TMJ issues. Your dentist may recommend over-the-counter or prescription medications to help reduce pain and inflammation.
