Find Lasting Relief from Jaw Pain: TMJ Treatment That Works

Jaw pain can be a constant distraction, making it hard to eat, talk, or even yawn comfortably. If you’re experiencing jaw soreness, stiffness, or a popping sound when you move your jaw, TMJ disorder could be the cause. 

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects the jaw to the skull and is essential for smooth movement—when it’s strained, everyday tasks can quickly turn painful. 

Fortunately, effective treatments are available at Jackman Family Dentistry to bring you relief. 

Common Symptoms of TMJ Disorder 

TMJ disorder often shows up as pain or stiffness in the jaw, difficulty with jaw movement, headaches, or discomfort around the ears. You may also hear clicking or grinding sounds when you move your jaw. 

Though these symptoms might begin subtly, they can intensify over time and start to disrupt daily activities if not addressed. 

Why TMJ Disorders Develop 

Several factors can contribute to TMJ disorders, including teeth grinding from stress, arthritis, jaw misalignment, or past injuries. 

Even habits like frequent gum chewing or clenching your jaw can strain the TMJ. Identifying these causes is key to finding the right treatment for lasting relief. 

Dental Solutions for TMJ Relief 

Dentists offer a range of treatments to ease TMJ pain. A custom-fitted mouthguard can help reduce tension caused by grinding, while orthodontic treatments may improve alignment for smoother jaw movement. 

Incorporating lifestyle changes and jaw exercises can also be beneficial for long-term relief.
