Relieve TMJ Symptoms & Prevent Teeth Grinding
Your temporomandibular joints (TMJ) sit on either side of your head and connect your jaw to your skull. These joints make it possible to open and close your mouth, so when they become irritated, you can experience a great deal of pain. Simple activities like talking, eating, yawning, and even laughing can send excruciating waves of pain through your jaw and face.
Great Smiles Dental Care can help with your TMJ pain. With a custom-fitted appliance that you wear while sleeping, you can begin to get relief almost immediately. The device will fit comfortably in your mouth and push your lower jaw forward just a bit, relieving tension on your TMJ. The result will be a jaw that feels better as well as a better quality of life.
The appliance will also prevent you from grinding your teeth, which many people do while sleeping without even knowing it. Since teeth grinding is a leading cause of tension headaches, you’ll probably have fewer of those as well.
If you want effective relief from jaw pain, turn to the experts at Great Smiles Dental Care for TMJ treatment in Surprise. Call us today at (623) 288-1797 to schedule an appointment, or use our handy online form to request an appointment time.
Common Questions About TMJ Treatment/Teeth Grinding
Your temporomandibular joints (TMJs) are your jaw joints on either side of your head. When they become irritated and painful, TMJ treatment is necessary. We offer a simple oral device that will move your lower jaw forward, relieving tension on your TMJs. This is a quick and effective way to eliminate your jaw pain.
TMJ treatment may be covered by your regular health insurance. We recommend you check with your insurance carrier for specifics on your coverage. If you don’t have coverage for your treatment, we offer several payment options, including third-party financing and even in-house financing. We’ll work with you to get the TMJ treatment you need.
An experienced general dentist such as Dr. Wendelschafer can treat your TMJ symptoms. We would be glad to help you with this problem at Great Smiles Dental Care. We encourage you to schedule an initial consultation as soon as possible so that we can help you feel better soon. You don’t have to keep living with TMJ pain.
