TMJ Therapy

 

In today's fast paced society we are seeing more and more stress related damage to teeth and the jaw joint (TMJ) Many patients report pain around the joint and ear, ringing or a feeling of the ears being plugged, light sensitivity of the eyes, temperature sensitivity on the teeth and "migraine type" headaches radiating from the joint.

All of these signs and symptoms can  in fact be traced back to  clenching and grinding habits resulting from stress. Although we can not make your life less stressful, we do offer the latest methods to help reduce the damaging effects on your teeth, jaw muscles, and jaw joints.

Treatment options include custom nightguards and desensitizers to protect the teeth, as well as  Botox therapy to relax the muscles affected.
