Get relief from painful TMJ symptoms.
How TMJ Dentistry Can Boost Your Quality of Life
Are you experiencing jaw pain whenever you chew food, talk, or yawn? Do you hear clicking sounds when you open and close your mouth? These are common symptoms of a temporomandibular disorder (TMD), which refers to a problem with your temporomandibular joint, or TMJ. If you’re in the Romeoville, Illinois, area, a short drive to Lakota Dental can put you on track for relief from those common TMJ symptoms as well as others that may include:
• Jaw stiffness when chewing or talking
• Soreness around your ears
• Ringing in your ears (tinnitus)
• Facial swelling
• Dizziness
• Headaches
• Insomnia
The cause of TMDs isn’t always clear, but frequently TMJ symptoms arise after a blow to the jaw. You may also benefit from TMJ treatment if you grind your teeth or clench your jaw when you’re stressed, your jawbone isn’t properly aligned, or you’ve developed arthritis in your jaw joints.
