TMJ Therapy

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can cause jaw pain, headaches, clicking sounds, and difficulty opening your mouth. At Redwater Dental Clinic, we diagnose and treat TMJ issues to relieve your pain and restore normal jaw function.

Symptoms of TMJ Disorders

• Jaw pain or tenderness
• Clicking or popping sounds when opening your mouth
• Difficulty chewing or pain while eating
• Frequent headaches or earaches
• Jaw locking in open or closed position
• Facial pain or neck and shoulder tension

Our TMJ Treatment Approach

We offer several approaches to TMJ treatment:

1. Comprehensive examination and diagnosis
2. Custom night guards to prevent teeth grinding
3. Bite adjustment and occlusal therapy
4. Jaw exercises and physical therapy recommendations
5. Pain management strategies

Many TMJ issues are related to teeth grinding (bruxism), stress, or bite misalignment. We will identify the underlying cause and create a personalized treatment plan to provide lasting relief.
