TMJ Treatments

Relief for TMJ Disorders at Paroo Dental

At Paroo Dental, we understand how debilitating the pain and discomfort of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can be. TMJ disorders affect the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, leading to symptoms like jaw pain, headaches, facial discomfort, and difficulty chewing. Fortunately, effective treatments are available to help you find relief and restore your quality of life.

​

Our team offers a range of customized solutions, from non-invasive therapies to advanced treatments, all designed to address the root causes of TMJ issues and provide lasting comfort.

What is a TMJ Disorder?

The temporomandibular joint connects your jawbone to your skull and allows for essential movements like talking, chewing, and yawning. TMJ disorders can occur when the joint or muscles become strained, misaligned, or overused.

Common symptoms of TMJ disorders include:

  • Jaw pain or tenderness.

  • Clicking or popping sounds in the jaw.

  • Locking of the jaw.

  • Headaches, migraines, or facial pain.

  • Earaches or a feeling of fullness in the ears.

TMJ Disorder Treatments at Paroo Dental

Our TMJ treatments are designed to reduce pain, improve jaw function, and address the underlying causes of your symptoms.

​

  • Occlusal Splints (Night Guards)

    • Custom-made occlusal splints are designed to alleviate stress on the TMJ by preventing grinding (bruxism) and clenching during sleep. These devices help reposition your jaw, reducing muscle tension and protecting your teeth from wear.

​

  • Occlusal Adjustments

    • Sometimes, uneven bites or dental interferences contribute to TMJ problems. By carefully adjusting your bite, we can eliminate areas of strain, allowing your jaw to move more naturally and comfortably.

​

  • Neuromodulators (Xeomin)

    • We use Xeomin, a purified form of botulinum toxin, to relax overactive jaw muscles. This treatment helps:

      • Prevent clenching and grinding that contribute to TMJ discomfort.

      • Provide relief from facial pain and tension.

      • Treat trigger points to alleviate migraines and chronic headaches associated with TMJ disorders.

At Paroo Dental, we prioritize your comfort and care throughout the treatment process.

  • Comprehensive Evaluation:

    • We’ll begin with a thorough examination of your jaw, teeth, and bite, combined with a discussion of your symptoms and medical history.

    • Diagnostic tools such as X-rays or bite analysis may be used to better understand your condition.

  • Personalized Treatment Plan:

    • Based on your needs, we’ll recommend the most effective combination of therapies to address your TMJ disorder.

    • Our team will explain each step of the process, ensuring you feel informed and confident in your treatment plan.
