TMJ services

If you struggle with intense facial, head or jaw pain, we invite you in for a free complimentary consultation.

Causes

TMJ or TMD disorder occurs when the jaw joint becomes stressed, injured or misaligned due to factors like stress, bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching), arthritis in the TMJ, or trauma and injury to the head, neck or jaw.

Symptoms

  • Grinding, clicking or popping sounds in the jaw when you open and close your mouth
  • Inability to open your mouth wide to speak, yawn or chew
  • A locked or stuck jaw
  • Pain when chewing and biting
  • Pain in the neck, shoulders or ears
  • Frequent headaches

Treatments

Treatment for the TMJ depends on the cause and severity, but may include jaw and facial relaxation exercises, lifestyle changes, restorative dental treatments, a mouth guard or night guard, or jaw surgery.

“the best”

Dr. John and his staff are the best! The dentistry is certainly advanced in technology. He is gentle and exceptional good with children, therefore making it a good experience for kids. I had a crown break last week, was in the office the next day, and two hours later walked out with a perfectly fitting new crown! They deserve 10 stars but, there was only 5 allowed!
