When you’re experiencing jaw pain and discomfort, every other aspect of your life can suffer the consequences. Talking is a pain and chewing is a nightmare. How can you get that persistent clicking to stop? If your jaw pain has lasted more than a day, it’s likely not just because you slept weird. You may be suffering from a disorder of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
Thankfully, our general dentist offers easy solutions that can take the strain off of your TMJ and relieve your symptoms. With simple, non-invasive treatments, you can get back to sleeping restfully and chewing in silence.
Your jaw is a pretty complex system. If anything gets off kilter, you can experience a range of TMJ symptoms, including:
These symptoms arise when the tiny, sliding hinge joint on either side of your jaw undergoes a lot of stress. For example, if you grind your teeth at night, your TMJ can suffer injuries that lead to your symptoms. These manifest in what we call a temporomandibular disorder (TMD). Thankfully, treating TMD rarely requires surgery. We offer several non-invasive treatment options.
You don’t have to live with TMJ pain forever. Ask our Winter Haven dentist about your options! We can walk you through one or more of these treatments:
There is no one-size-fits-all solution to jaw pain. We want to talk with you about your day-to-day life to figure out what could be contributing to your symptoms. If we can help you identify the cause and your risk factors, we can get rid of TMJ pain for good.
