TMD impacts the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and surrounding muscles, causing symptoms such as persistent headaches, facial pain in the cheeks or temples, jaw clicking or popping, jaw locking, tooth wear from clenching or grinding, sensitivity to temperature, difficulty opening or closing the mouth, and ear pain or tinnitus.
Common causes include arthritis, teeth clenching or grinding, jaw trauma, overuse.
Our comprehensive assessment includes evaluation of jaw movement, muscle tenderness, and joint function. We utilize advanced therapies such as the Fotona laser – Gonova system, which promotes healing and reduces pain. Treatment options also include pain relief, heat or cold therapy, occlusal splints or night guards, and lifestyle modifications to manage contributing habits.
