Relieve TMJ Pain With Expert Care at Winfield Dental Studio
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder is a condition that affects the jaw joint and can cause pain and discomfort. At Winfield Dental Studio, Dr. Ryan and Jolynn Kuebler offers TMJ treatment options to help patients alleviate their symptoms and improve their quality of life.
Treatment for TMJ disorder may include lifestyle modifications, such as stress reduction techniques or changes in diet, as well as dental procedures such as orthodontics or dental appliances to help realign the bite and alleviate pressure on the jaw joint.
TMJ treatment options vary depending on the severity of the condition and the individual patient's needs. Mild cases of TMJ disorder can often be treated with lifestyle modifications, such as stress reduction techniques, relaxation exercises, and changes in diet.
For more severe cases, dental procedures such as orthodontics or dental appliances may be recommended to help realign the bite and alleviate pressure on the jaw joint. Custom-fitted splints or mouthguards can also be used to reduce clenching or grinding of the teeth, which can exacerbate TMJ symptoms.
In some cases, medications such as muscle relaxants or anti-inflammatory drugs may be prescribed to alleviate pain and discomfort associated with TMJ disorder. In rare cases, surgical intervention may be necessary to correct structural abnormalities or damage to the jaw joint.
TMJ treatment can help patients alleviate their symptoms and improve their quality of life. A consultation with a dental professional can help determine the best treatment options for each individual patient.
