Struggling with jaw pain, headaches, or difficulty chewing? Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMJ/TMD) can be more than just a nuisance—they can disrupt your daily life. At Chesapeake Center for Complete Dentistry in Chesapeake, Virginia, we understand the discomfort and inconvenience caused by TMJ disorders. That’s why we offer comprehensive TMJ treatment and therapy tailored to relieve pain and improve jaw function.
Understanding TMJ Disorders: The temporomandibular joint connects your jawbone to your skull, acting like a sliding hinge. Any problem in this complex system, which includes muscles, tendons, and bones, can lead to a TMJ disorder. Symptoms may include:
- Jaw pain or tenderness
- Difficulty in opening and closing the mouth
- Clicking, popping, or locking of the jaw
- Headaches and earaches
- Neck and shoulder pain
Our Approach to TMJ Treatment: At Chesapeake Center for Complete Dentistry, our approach to treating TMJ disorders starts with a thorough evaluation. Dr. John Doe and his experienced team use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to assess your condition accurately. Based on the diagnosis, we create a personalized treatment plan that may include:
- Oral Appliances: Custom-made night guards that help alleviate pressure on the joint and prevent teeth grinding, which often exacerbates TMJ symptoms.
- Physical Therapy: Exercises and treatments designed to strengthen the jaw muscles, improve mobility, and promote healing.
- Medication: Anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants, or other medications to relieve pain and reduce inflammation.
- Stress Management Techniques: Since stress can intensify TMJ symptoms, we offer guidance on relaxation techniques and lifestyle changes to help manage stress levels.
Success Stories: Many of our patients have found significant relief from their TMJ symptoms with our treatments. For example, Jane Smith, a long-time sufferer of TMJ pain, experienced a noticeable improvement in just a few weeks after starting her customized treatment plan at our center.
