WHAT IS A TMJ DISORDER?
Temporomandibular Joint Disorder, or TMJ, affects the joint connecting the jaw to the skull. It can lead to symptoms such as jaw pain, difficulty chewing, and jaw locking or clicking. The causes are diverse, including genetics, arthritis, jaw injuries, or habits like excessive gum chewing. At Apex Dentistry, we are committed to providing clear, concise information to help you understand TMJ and its impacts.
Effective TMJ Treatment Options
At Apex Dentistry, we initially prioritize conservative, non-invasive treatments. These may include physical therapy, medications to reduce inflammation, and lifestyle changes to reduce jaw stress. Dr. Salehi, with his extensive experience, also designs customized oral appliances tailored to each patient’s unique jaw alignment, significantly alleviating TMJ symptoms. For more severe cases, we offer advanced treatments, including corticosteroid injections and minimally invasive surgical options, ensuring comprehensive care.
