TMJ disorder

TMJ disorder (or Temporo-Mandibular Joint dysfunction) is where the joint that allows the jaw to open and close is misaligned or overworked.

Problems with the function of this joint are common, with symptoms including joint pain, clicking or popping of the jaw, limited opening, earaches and headaches.

It can be caused by:

  • Unbalanced bite
  • Unbalanced dental work
  • Increased muscle activity
  • Increased sensitivity to pain
  • Wear and tear to the inside of the joint
  • Certain types of arthritis
  • Injury

Recommended treatment for TMJ disorder is dependent on individual circumstances, considering the severity of the problem and the cause. Common treatments include:

  • Rest
  • Exercises
  • Physical Therapy
  • Pain Killers
  • Habit control - with the use of night time splits
  • Use of a bite splint to help the jaw muscles relax
  • Manual adjustment of the bite by grinding the teeth - occlusal adjustment
  • Reconstructive dentistry
  • Orthodontics

Your Envisage Dental West Moors dentist will examine the physical functionality of the joint, as well as the internal health of the soft tissue within the mouth. X-rays and scans may also be used in order to obtain a full overview of functionality and determine the best course of treatment for your individual case.

If you are suffering from joint pain or have any concerns with your jaw function, give us a call on 01202 871053 to book a consultation today.

Really can not say anything more or extra - everyone at the surgery is always pleasant and helpful. Certainly no need to feel frightened about going to the dentist.

The Implant Consultant is extremely good at his job, he explained everything in detail. He was considerate with the size of my mouth and how long I can keep it open for. The nurse was very caring and massaged my jaw as it was painful to hold open.

I was seen quickly, and because Rami would be on Annual for my scheduled, the Reception kindly fitted me in on the day I was advised of the cancellation. They also arranged for my husband to be seen 20 minutes before me,. This enabled us to attend at the same time, as I am no longer allowed to drive. Neither of us needed treatment, so have booked another appointment with Rami for next year. It was lovely to see Rami again, he and his Nurse are always kind and helpful. He is an excellent Dentist. Also, all staff in Reception are friendly, efficient and helpful.
