  2. Jaw Disorders

  3. Jaw Disorders Most problems with the jaw come from the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the muscles that help you chew. We have treatments that can ease this pain and discomfort.

  4. The following are symptoms of TMJ Disorders. Not everyone experiences all of these problems. If you experience some of them, speak to us for a thorough examination. Jaw pain, stiffness or soreness • Jaw pain while chewing, biting, or yawning • Painful or tender jaw joint • Difficulty opening and closing the mouth • Restricted range of jaw movement or “locking” of the jaw in an open or closed position • Painful clicking, popping, grinding or grating sounds in the jaw joint when opening or closing the mouth • Pain and fatigue when eating hard or chewy foods What is TMD or TMJ Disorder? TMD is not just one condition, but a group of painful disorders that affect the TMJs and the muscles one uses to chew. It affects more women than men, and is usually temporary or occasional, but a small percentage of sufferers have serious chronic problems.

  5. How Can TMJ Be Treated • There are a number of treatments available, ranging from stress reduction techniques, to dental appliances to muscle relaxants. It is also best to make some simple adjustments like eating soft foods, and not chewing gum. Discuss available options with us.

  6. Between your Visits Going to a dental doctor is important but just that is not enough. You have to take proper care to avoid oral problems. Make sure that you take proper care of your teeth and gums. Understand that plaque keeps forming from time to time. It can be cleared with regular brushing and flossing. Brushing, flossing and rinsing are the three most important steps to achieve good oral care at home. Other healthy habits include: • Avoid tobacco • Limit beverages like coffee, soda and alcohol • Teeth need calcium and vitamins. Consume calcium rich food.
