TMJ Treatment
Jaw pain can affect much more than your smile. It can make it uncomfortable to eat, speak, yawn, or even get through your day without discomfort. If you've been dealing with jaw soreness, clicking, or frequent headaches, TMJ treatment may help identify what's causing your symptoms and provide relief.
At Campisano Family Dentistry, we'll take the time to understand what you're experiencing, evaluate your jaw and bite, and recommend a treatment plan that's tailored to your needs.
What Is TMJ Treatment?
TMJ treatment focuses on concerns involving the temporomandibular joints (TMJ), which connect your jaw to your skull. When these joints or the surrounding muscles aren't functioning properly, everyday movements like chewing or speaking can become uncomfortable.
Because TMJ concerns can have different causes, treatment begins with a thorough evaluation. We'll listen to your symptoms, examine your jaw, and determine whether your discomfort may be related to your bite, muscle tension, or another contributing factor. From there, we'll explain our findings and recommend the next steps.
How Can TMJ Treatment Help?
TMJ symptoms can look different from one person to the next, which is why we take a personalized approach to care. Our goal is to help reduce discomfort, improve jaw function, and make everyday activities feel more comfortable.
TMJ treatment may help with:
- Jaw pain or tenderness
- Clicking or popping when opening or closing your mouth
- Difficulty chewing or opening your mouth comfortably
- Muscle tension in the jaw, face, or neck
- Headaches that may be related to jaw function
What Makes Our Approach Different?
Every patient is different, and not every TMJ concern has the same solution. We begin by carefully evaluating your symptoms and recommending conservative treatment whenever appropriate.
For patients who may benefit from additional support, we also have access to an in-house physical therapist who specializes in treating the head, neck, and jaw. Working together allows us to take a collaborative approach to care while helping you receive treatment that's tailored to your specific needs.
