What is TMD?

Your jaw is connected to the skull with a small hinge joint that needs to be flexible yet taut to move the jaw up and down. When this joint (TMJ or temporomanidublar joint) becomes inflamed or damaged in some way, you experience symptoms such as aching around the jaw, difficulty chewing and frequent headaches. If you are unable to stretch this area or have an issue of a ‘locked jaw,’ you may need to see a doctor that experienced in TMD.

TMD Treatment Options

One of the first things we look for when a patient complains about jaw pain is an uneven bite. If you have a misaligned bite, you may benefit greatly from an occlusal adjustment, or bite adjustment. Anybody with a teeth grinding habit will also need an occlusal adjustment and restorative treatments if the teeth have worn down and the bite is out of alignment. Dr. Purdy makes use of lasers for pain therapy, which works by targeting the painful areas around the joint to reduce discomfort. You have several options available to resolve issues related to a compromised jaw joint.

Stop living with TMD pain and start enjoying life again! Schedule your consultation with Dr. Purdy today.
