Are You Ignoring Your TMJ Pain?

If you’re dealing with jaw pain, headaches, or discomfort while chewing, there’s a good chance you’re suffering from temporomandibular joint disorder or TMJ dysfuntion.

It’s common for people to ignore the symptoms, hoping they’ll disappear on their own, but TMJ pain usually requires professional care. If you’ve been avoiding treatment, I urge you to schedule an appointment with me at my Burlington bioesthetic dentistry office to get the relief you need.

Understanding Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJD)

TMJD affects the temporomandibular joint, which connects your jaw to your skull and is essential for all jaw movements like speaking, chewing, and swallowing. When this joint becomes dysfunctional, it can cause discomfort and impact your daily activities. Common symptoms of TMJD include jaw or facial pain, headaches, earaches, and difficulty opening or closing your mouth. If left untreated, these symptoms can become more severe over time.

Why You Shouldn’t Ignore TMJ Pain

Ignoring TMJ pain can lead to more serious complications. Untreated TMJD can cause chronic pain, further damage to the joint, and even affect your posture or bite. Many people don’t realize that TMJD can also create tension in the neck and shoulders. Addressing these issues early can prevent long-term damage and offer significant relief from the discomfort you may be experiencing.

As a Bioesthetic dentist in Burlington, I specialize in diagnosing and treating TMJ disorders using advanced, holistic techniques. Bioesthetic dentistry focuses on restoring balance to your bite, ensuring that your teeth and jaw work together as they should. I take a comprehensive approach, carefully evaluating your bite and jaw alignment to identify the root causes of your TMJ pain.

When you visit my office, I’ll thoroughly assess your condition and discuss personalized treatment options. Whether we decide on custom night guards, physical therapy, or jaw realignment, I’ll create a tailored plan that meets your specific needs to help you find lasting relief.
