Frequently Asked Questions About TMJ/TMD Treatment
What are signs of TMJ disorder?
Jaw pain or tenderness, clicking/popping when opening mouth, difficulty chewing, facial pain, headaches, earaches, and jaw locking open or closed. Symptoms can be on one or both sides.
What causes TMJ problems?
Common causes include teeth grinding (bruxism), jaw injury, arthritis, stress (clenching), and misaligned bite. Sometimes the cause is unknown. A proper diagnosis guides treatment.
Can TMJ disorder be cured?
Many cases resolve with conservative treatment: nightguards, physical therapy, medication, and lifestyle changes. Chronic cases may need ongoing management. Surgery is rarely needed.
How does a nightguard help TMJ?
A custom nightguard prevents teeth grinding, reduces muscle tension, and takes pressure off the jaw joint while you sleep. Many patients experience significant relief within weeks.
Should I see a dentist or doctor for TMJ?
Start with a dentist - we're trained to evaluate bite, jaw, and teeth issues that cause most TMJ problems. We may refer to a specialist (oral surgeon or TMJ specialist) for complex cases.
