Relieve Jaw Pain With TMJ Treatment in Florence
Dental problems like cavities and missing teeth aren’t the only issues our dentists can treat. They can also help relieve chronic jaw pain related to issues with your temporomandibular joints (TMJ). Since TMJ disorders (TMD) can be aggravated by issues ranging from teeth grinding to misaligned teeth, we provide several options for TMJ treatment in Florence. Treating your TMD will:
- Eliminate jaw soreness
- Put an end to headaches caused by TMD
- Allow you to easily chew your food, yawn, and otherwise use your jaw
- Relieve TMJ-related pain in your face, ears, and shoulders
- Stop teeth grinding that may contribute to your TMD issues
Are you suffering from TMJ pain? Call Advanced Dental Center at (843) 588-1919 for relief.
Receive the Right Solution for Your TMJ Pain
TMD has no definitive cause. Medical professionals believe many issues can contribute to the painful condition, including arthritis, teeth grinding or clenching, stress, and a misaligned bite.
Our dentists will likely suggest starting with the most conservative – and least costly – TMD treatment option: a custom-made mouthguard or splint that gently moves your jaw into a position that relieves pressure on your TMJ. It will also prevent you from grinding your teeth, which can lead to headaches and dental damage that requires repair with restorative dentistry.
If this doesn’t take care of the problem, they’ll consider altering a misaligned bite with treatments that may include placing dental crowns or possibly Invisalign.
