Savin Dental Care and West Haven migraine relief authority, Dr. George Discher DDS, are pleased to announce proven alleviation and corrective techniques for the pain of TMJ symptoms. TMJ or Temporomandibular Joint Disorder is a painful and limiting condition of the small joints that connect the lower jaw to the skull.
These joints, one on each side of the head, in front of the ears, are perhaps the most used joints in the entire body. The jaw moves when talking, chewing, and yawning. Each of those movements can be quite painful when the joint is affected. There may be pain when talking or chewing. The sufferer may not be able to open the mouth completely or normally. There may be popping and cracking noises as the person with TMJ moves the jaw.
Over time, the damage to the joint and limitations on the jaw can result in uneven wear for the teeth and even malformation of the jawbone itself. Pain from the joint and surrounding nerves and ligaments may radiate and become pain manifested as headaches, shoulder pain, and ear aches. TMJ may appear as pain in the upper extremities.
When a dental patient is suffering from one or more of the symptoms, Dr. Discher will perform a complete assessment in order to determine if TMJ is the underlying cause of the pain. The remedies suggested will depend upon the degree to which the condition has progressed. Usually, the patient will wear a device to bring the jaw back into a more normal alignment.
The corrective actions will vary with each patient. In some instances, surgical work is necessary to correct the jaw malformations.
