TMJ Treatment That Change Lives
Suffering with TMJ pain is unlike most issues because it's in our head, literally, and theres often little relief from traditional methods such as massage, medication, or hot/cold therapies. That's why our TMJ treatments change our patients lives, we give them the ability to live life free of major TMJ pains, and we do so with minimal and nonsurgical treatments.
Jaw Pain
Jaw pain may not be as simple as a tooth infection. Dr. Smitherman knows how to find and treat the source of the pain, and not simply mask the pain.
Locked Jaw
A locked jaw is terrifying and painful. IF your jaw is locked shut or open give us a call and we'll get you in ASAP so you can continue to do what you love.
Popping/Clicking
Popping and clicking in the jaw can be a sign that changes are happening in the joint that need to be addressed by a trained doctor.
What Is TMJ?
TMJ stands for the temporomandibular joint, which is the joint that attaches the jaw to the skull.
As with many other joints on the body, this joint can experience problems over time, causing pain and swelling. At Perspective Dentistry, we offer a range of TMJ treatment options to alleviate the pain and discomfort that you are feeling and to give you free range of the jawbone. Certain symptoms are often seen in people who have temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. These symptoms may be part of TMJ disorders, but are also found in other medical conditions that an ENT (ear, nose, and throat) treat, making diagnosis potentially difficult. Some symptoms may include:
- Limited ability to open
- Popping or clicking
- Jaw locking open or closed
- Muscle spasms in the face, jaw, or neck
- Jaw Pain
- Ear Pain
- Ear Stuffiness, fullness, or ringing
- Clenching/grinding of teeth
- Vertigo/dizziness Headaches
- Pain that spreads to shoulders/neck/back
- Pain behind the eyes
- Tinnitus or ringing in ears
