TMJ Dentist
Dallas Laser Dentistry – experts in treating TMJ with BOTOX®.
Cosmetic dentistry isn’t just about making your teeth look the best they can. It’s also about fixing problems as they happen, and ensuring that any issues you may have are resolved with our expert help.
This is especially true for those patients we see who are looking for relief from TMJ symptoms and headaches. TMJ stands for the temporomandibular joint, and we all have two of these – one on each side of the jaw, connecting the top to the bottom.
As with any other part of the body it’s possible to experience problems with this joint, which can cause a lot of pain, as it is these joints that allow us to open and close our mouths, chew our food, and talk.
Seeing a TMJ dentist can help to alleviate problems or pain that may be experienced. Anyone who suffers from TMJ syndrome will have a number of symptoms that can be helped by seeing a professional, including headaches, pain around the face and mouth, clenching, night grinding, and dizziness. Chewing food can become painful and quite often the patient’s jaw will click.
Most patients who suffer from TMJ syndrome will find that their symptoms worsen as time goes by, plus their teeth can be ruined. Seeing a TMJ dentist who can properly diagnose the condition and actually treat the underlying cause is highly advisable.
If you have symptoms similar to those above at any point in your life, we would recommend coming to see us to discuss the cause. As dentists we always put the welfare of our patients first, and if TMJ syndrome is suspected it may affect any treatment you may have.
If you have any questions or issues, please do come and see us. We firmly
believe that listening to our patients is just as important as treating
them. Call us today – (214) 739-8888!
