The temporomandibular joints (TMJ) connect your jaw to your skull and work thousands of times a day. When they ache, click, or lock, chewing and even talking become a chore — and effective treatment exists.
Not sure which treatment fits your case? Book a visit — we will examine, explain, and plan it with you.
Clicking or popping when you open, morning jaw stiffness, ear aches without infection, headaches, and difficulty chewing are the classic signs we assess.
Night grinding overloads the joints and wears teeth flat. A custom night guard cushions the bite and lets the muscles rest while you sleep.
Teeth meeting unevenly push the joints off track. Adjusting the bite — or realigning it with aligners — often settles persistent joint strain.
Stress drives jaw clenching. Moist heat, jaw exercises, and short-term anti-inflammatories calm the muscles while we fix the underlying trigger.
We examine joint movement, listen for clicks, test muscle tenderness, and image the joints when needed — then explain exactly what is overworking.
Eat softer foods, avoid gum and nail biting, keep your tongue on the palate with teeth apart, and apply warm compresses to tired jaw muscles.
Once symptoms calm, retaining the improved bite and wearing your guard as directed keeps the joints comfortable for the long haul.
Our dentists combine modern diagnostics with gentle, patient-first care at every visit.
