Stop Jaw Pain With TMJ Treatment in Atlanta

If you’ve ever injured a shoulder or knee, you know what it feels like to put too much pressure or strain on a joint. It hurts! Excessive pressure caused by habits like teeth grinding and jaw clenching can lead to or aggravate a TMJ disorder, a painful condition that affects your jaw – and sometimes other parts of your body. We can ease your pain with TMJ treatment in Atlanta.

Our TMJ solutions will:

Relieve excessive pressure on your jaw
Lower your risk of dental damage like chipped or cracked tooth enamel
Keep you from grinding your teeth and/or clenching them together
Prevent pain from spreading from your jaw to your neck and other areas
Stop headaches and other uncomfortable TMJ symptoms
Make it easier to open and close your mouth

If you suffer from TMJ pain, call us at 770-802-1120 for relief.

Comfortably Treat TMJ Dysfunction With a Custom Mouthguard

As with other dental issues, we prefer to use the most conservative approach possible to resolve your problem. This involves less stress and usually less expense. Orthodontics, restorations like crowns, and even surgery are sometimes used to treat a TMJ disorder. Yet many TMJ patients experience relief simply by wearing a custom-made mouthguard.

Our dentists can make impressions of your teeth and fit you for a custom mouthguard that will:

Fit better than one purchased online or from a store
Slip on comfortably over your teeth
Stop harmful grinding and clenching behaviors
Give your jaw a chance to heal naturally

Get Help to Prevent Signs of a TMJ Disorder

The most obvious and persistent sign of a TMJ disorder is jaw pain. You need to seek help for jaw pain that won’t go away, especially if you also experience these other TMJ symptoms:

Facial swelling
Persistent headaches
Unexplained earaches and/or ringing in your ears
Muscle tension or pain in your face, neck, and/or shoulders
Problems opening or closing your mouth

For TMJ treatment in Atlanta, call 3640 Dental at 770-802-1120 or schedule online.

Common Questions About TMJ Treatment/Teeth Grinding

What is my TMJ?

Your TMJ is your temporomandibular joints. You have one joint on each side of your jaw directly in front of each of your ears. You can put your finger where your cheek meets your ear, press gently, and open your mouth a few times to feel it moving. Your TMJ is working every time you speak, smile, chew, yawn, and more.

Does TMJ treatment work?

Yes, absolutely! Many patients don’t realize just how much better they’ll feel after TMJ treatment has begun. You use your TMJ thousands of times each day, so treating any pain or discomfort is very important before the issue becomes even more problematic. Not only does TMJ treatment work, but it can be very comfortable, too!

Who do I see for my TMJ treatment?

Your general practitioner might be the first person you want to call, but actually, your dentist has much more knowledge about the muscles, nerves, bones, and other anatomy that make up your entire jaw. This is a dentist’s specialty, so it makes sense to trust one with your TMJ treatment. In fact, TMJ pain is often a result of a dental issue, which is all the more reason to ask your dentist first!

How long does TMJ treatment take?

You may need ongoing treatment for a TMJ disorder. Fortunately, by wearing a simple appliance, you can prevent teeth grinding, a common cause of TMJ problems. We have helped many patients find the solution to this particularly painful problem. Today, they are enjoying their lives with fewer headaches, earaches, jaw pain, and jaw stiffness.
