What is TMJ Therapy?
TMJ Therapy refers to the treatment and management of Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders. These disorders can cause pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint and surrounding muscles. TMJ Therapy aims to alleviate these symptoms and improve jaw function, allowing patients to live a comfortable and pain-free life.
About TMJ Disorders
TMJ disorders can result from various factors including stress, teeth grinding, jaw misalignment, or injury to the jaw joint. Common symptoms of TMJ disorders include:
- Facial pain or tenderness
- Jaw pain or discomfort
- Clicking, popping, or grinding noises in the jaw joint
- Difficulty or pain while chewing
- Locking of the jaw joint
- Headaches
- Earaches
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to consult a dental professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate TMJ Therapy.
Effective TMJ Therapy at Healthy Smiles Dental
At Healthy Smiles Dental, we understand the impact TMJ disorders can have on your quality of life. Our experienced dentist, Dr. Coseo Robert G, DDS, offers effective TMJ Therapy to provide relief from discomfort and improve jaw function.
Comprehensive Evaluation
During your initial appointment, Dr. Coseo will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your jaw joint and review your medical history. This allows him to accurately diagnose the underlying cause of your TMJ disorder and develop a personalized treatment plan.
Tailored Treatment Plan
Based on the evaluation, Dr. Coseo will create a tailored treatment plan to address your specific TMJ disorder. This may include a combination of the following:
1. Occlusal Splints
Occlusal splints, also known as mouthguards, are custom-made devices that help alleviate TMJ symptoms by improving jaw alignment and reducing teeth grinding. Dr. Coseo will take impressions of your teeth to create a precise-fitting splint that suits your needs.
2. Physical Therapy
In some cases, physical therapy exercises can be beneficial for TMJ disorders. Dr. Coseo may recommend specific jaw exercises and stretches to improve jaw mobility and reduce muscle tension.
3. Lifestyle Changes
Dr. Coseo may provide guidance on lifestyle changes that can help manage TMJ symptoms. This may include stress reduction techniques, avoiding hard or chewy foods, and adopting good posture habits.
