Tmj / Tmd treatment
Jaw discomfort can be distracting, especially when it affects chewing, talking, or everyday routines. Symptoms can include popping, clicking, stiffness, headaches, or soreness that radiates up to the temples or down the neck. We take time to understand how your symptoms show up, what triggers them, and how they affect your day-to-day comfort.
What we evaluate
Your dentist may assess:
- Jaw motion and range of movement
- Muscle tension and areas of tenderness
- Bite alignment and how your teeth meet
- Possible habits like clenching, grinding, posture strain, or stress
Digital imaging may be used to give us a clear picture of what’s happening beneath the surface. We explain everything in straightforward, practical language so you understand exactly what we see and what it means.
Support that fits your daily life
Treatment is always conservative and tailored to your comfort. Recommendations may include:
- A custom night guard
- Bite adjustments
- Exercises to relax the jaw and supporting muscles
- Simple habit changes that make a noticeable difference
You receive a plan that feels realistic — not overwhelming — with clear follow-up to monitor how things improve over time.
