If you are living with complications caused by TMJ, the team at Smith Family Dentistry, MI is here for you. Temporomandibular joint disorder (or TMJ) is a term that describes pain or discomfort surrounding the joint and muscles in the jaw. It can be brought on by a physical injury or could occur from having misaligned teeth or an off bite. If left untreated, chronic symptoms can have a negative effect on one’s quality of life.
TMJ can cause:
severe headaches
neck pain
ringing in the ears
clicking in the jaw
numbness or loss of sensation
vertigo
trouble sleeping
difficulty or pain while chewing
If you have TMJ, you don’t have to suffer helplessly with chronic pain. We offer treatment options that address the root issue, rather than simply masking the problem with pain medication.
Call Smith Family Dentistry, MI to schedule your appointment today. We’ll work together to solve your TMJ troubles, so you can finally enjoy the comfort you deserve.
