TMJ / TMD Treatment

Temporomandibular joint pain and dysfunction affects millions of people worldwide. There can often be many symptoms associated with this disorder and can be caused by numerous factors. It is important to be evaluated by your Vista dentist to stop damage to your teeth and surrounding joints.

WHAT IS TMJ?

TMJ TMD is a disorder which affects the joints surrounding the mouth. Specifically we look to the TM joint that connects the lower jaw to the mouth whereby this joint becomes inflamed. Often this inflammation can cause many uncomfortable symptoms such as the inability to eat, pain near the ear, ringing in the ear, or unusual popping or crunching sounds upon opening the mouth. Patients are often unaware that they may also be clenching or grinding their teeth. Over time this can cause alignment issues and further wear of a patients molars. It is best to see a dentist as soon as possible to get an evaluation, plus a temporary mouth guard to protect your precious teeth from further damage.
