TMJ And Bruxism
Headaches can be a symptom of TMJ disorders. To determine whether that is the case for you, we will complete an evaluation. If your symptoms are due to TMJ, we will provide treatment alternatives to help.
While teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, is very common among adults, it can cause serious damage to your teeth and jaw joints. If you wake up with sore muscles or you have noticed that you clench or grind your teeth, please talk to us. We can make you a customized night guard to help protect your teeth.
Symptoms for TMJ disorders can vary dramatically from one person to the next and can include facial pain, neck pain, headaches, sensitive teeth, clicking or popping joints, locking jaw joints, and your teeth not coming together correctly.
If you experience any of these symptoms, call our office and we will schedule an exam to determine whether you have a TMJ disorder and if so, create an appropriate customized treatment plan.
