Why Do You Need TMJ Therapy?

TMJ or the temporomandibular joint connects the jawbone to the skull and when this area is dysfunctional, it can affect a patient’s eating, talking ability, and put teeth and bone health in jeopardy. Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is when the joints in your jaw is injured or damaged, resulting in localized pain. With TMJ therapy, your bite will be restored, and your joints will be repaired and working as they should.

TMJ disorders can cause a clicking sound or grating sensation when you open your mouth or chew.

TMJ disorders are serious and can cause injury to teeth or the jaw and affect other areas of the body resulting in poor posture, arthritis, tooth grinding, and nerve inflammation.

 

 

Proper therapy techniques can relieve the pain in your jaw and other areas of the body while preserving the joints that allow for everyday motion of the mouth. Complications of long-term TMJ syndrome can include chronic pain either in the face or head as well as inflammatory disorders. A certified dentist should check out your jaw and determine if you have the disorder to alleviate pain and keep the condition from affecting the rest of your body.
