& TMJ TREATMENT

At EMM Dental Clinic, we understand the discomfort and challenges that come with jaw pain, bruxism (teeth grinding), and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Our dedicated team of dental professionals specializes in diagnosing and treating these conditions to provide you with relief and improve your quality of life. We are committed to helping you regain comfort and function in your jaw joint and surrounding muscles.

UNDERSTANDING JAW PAIN,  BRUXISM & TMJ

Jaw pain, bruxism, and TMJ disorders can manifest in various ways and may be caused by several factors, including:

​

  1. Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorders: The TMJ is the hinge joint that connects your jawbone to your skull. TMJ disorders can arise from issues such as misalignment, injury, arthritis, or muscle tension, leading to pain and restricted jaw movement.

  2. Bruxism (Teeth Grinding): Bruxism is the habit of grinding or clenching your teeth, often unconsciously, which can occur during the day or while you sleep. This condition can lead to jaw pain, headaches, tooth sensitivity, and dental damage.

  3. Muscle Tension and Stress: Chronic muscle tension, often caused by stress and anxiety, can contribute to jaw pain and TMJ disorders. It can result in muscle spasms, difficulty opening or closing the mouth, and discomfort while eating or speaking.

IMPROVING YOUR SLEEP, ENHANCING YOUR LIFE

At EMM Dental Clinic, we take a comprehensive and personalized approach to diagnosing and treating jaw pain, bruxism, and TMJ disorders. Our goal is to identify the underlying causes and develop a customized treatment plan to alleviate your symptoms effectively. Here's what you can expect during your visit:

​

✔   Thorough Evaluation: Our experienced dental professionals will conduct a detailed examination, including a review of your medical history and a comprehensive assessment of your jaw joint, teeth, and muscles. We may utilize imaging techniques such as X-rays or CT scans to obtain a clear understanding of your condition.

✔   Accurate Diagnosis: Based on the evaluation, we will diagnose the specific cause of your jaw pain or TMJ disorder. This allows us to tailor a treatment plan that addresses your unique needs and provides the most effective solutions.

✔   Customized Treatment Options: Our team will recommend appropriate treatment options to relieve your symptoms and address the underlying causes. These may include:

  • Bite Splints or Nightguards: Customized oral appliances that help alleviate the effects of bruxism and reduce the strain on your jaw joints.

  • Occlusal Adjustments: The selective reshaping of tooth surfaces to improve the alignment of your bite and reduce pressure on the jaw joints.

  • Physical Therapy: Special exercises and stretches to relieve muscle tension and improve jaw mobility.

  • Medications: In some cases, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), muscle relaxants, or other medications may be prescribed to alleviate pain and reduce inflammation.

✔   Patient Education: We believe in empowering our patients with knowledge and understanding of their condition. We will provide you with guidance on proper oral habits, stress management techniques, and self-care strategies to promote long-term relief and prevent future issues.
