Wear a Custom Mouthguard for Relief & Healing
When your jaw joint is shifted out of alignment from teeth grinding, overuse, or an injury, you won’t just feel the consequences in that area alone. TMJ disorders can come with rather unpleasant symptoms, like:
- Frequent painful headaches or migraines
- Tension and soreness in the jaw, neck, and shoulders
- Difficulty opening and closing your mouth
- Earaches and facial swelling or tenderness
- Clicking noises in the joint when you chew
All that is bad enough, but this condition can also put your dental health at risk because you may begin to unknowingly grind your teeth. Teeth grinding can damage enamel and leave you vulnerable to harmful bacteria that causes cavities and gum disease. If necessary, we’ll provide restorative dental care to repair fractured or worn teeth.
We’ll figure out whether your jaw problems are muscular or joint-related and determine whether you would benefit from a custom mouthguard that you wear while you sleep. It will prevent you from grinding your teeth at night, relieve TMJ disorder symptoms, and end your chronic pain.
