At North Brooklyn Dental Care, we understand the serious impact TMJ disorder and jaw pain can have on your daily life. Our compassionate team recognizes the frustration and discomfort that often accompanies regular jaw pain. With empathy as our guide, we’re here to walk this path with you, offering not just treatment but a supportive and understanding environment. Let’s explore the intricacies of TMJ and TMD together, uncovering the symptoms and discovering personalized solutions for a pain-free, relaxed jaw.
TMJ stands for the temporomandibular joint. To put it simply, this is the hinge joint that connects your lower jaw to either side of your skull. When issues arise with this joint, it can lead to a condition known as Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD). TMD can manifest in various ways, with symptoms including jaw pain, difficulty chewing, and even ear and headaches. At North Brooklyn Dental Care, we’re here to decode the complexities of TMJ and TMD, providing clarity on what patients may be experiencing.
Bruxism, or teeth grinding, often occurs involuntarily during sleep, affecting both adults and children. Nighttime teeth clenching and grinding is often the result of excess stress or tension. If you wake up with headaches or notice unusual tooth wear, you might be dealing with bruxism. Another symptom is the lack of quality sleep. You may wake up during the night or experience insomnia as a result of bruxism.
For those battling jaw pain and discomfort, our custom-made sleep mouth guards provide a protective barrier, preventing the effects of bruxism and reducing strain on the TMJ. Custom dental night guards are designed exclusively for your bite, meaning you’ll get the best in comfort and relief compared to readymade options.
At North Brooklyn Dental Care, we don’t just aim for temporary relief; we’re here for lasting solutions from TMJ disorder. Beyond custom night guards, we offer injectable treatments for those experiencing acute discomfort. Injectables relax the surrounding jaw muscles to relieve tension and can offer immediate relief from jaw pain when other treatments aren’t effective. During your visit, treatments are tailored to your unique needs, ensuring a personalized and effective approach to TMJ disorder.
TMD jaw pain isn’t something you have to manage yourself. With our support and lifestyle guidance, you can sleep comfortably and take back control of your oral health. Beyond general discomfort, teeth grinding left untreated can lead to worn-down enamel that exposes your teeth to decay. With simple solutions at North Brooklyn Dental Care, you can avoid the need of restorative dentistry or cosmetic fixes in the future.
