TMJ, or temporomandibular joint disorder, is a condition that affects 5 to 12% of the population. In short, this disorder occurs when there is a problem with the hinge that connects your jawbone to your skull, which can cause pain and discomfort in the jaw, neck, and even your ears. When this joint is damaged or inflamed, it can cause a range of symptoms, including pain, clicking or popping sounds, and difficulty chewing or speaking. TMJ disorder can be caused by a variety of factors, such as teeth grinding, stress, arthritis, or even trauma to the jaw.
By seeking out TMJ treatment, you can find relief and get back to living pain-free. At Artaza Dental, our knowledgeable Katy dentist can help determine which approach best suits your individual needs.
As a first line of defense, dentists often recommend night guards to prevent or alleviate the symptoms of TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder. TMJ disorder can be caused by teeth grinding and clenching, which places excessive force on the jaw joint and surrounding muscles.
Night guards work by providing a cushion between the upper and lower teeth, reducing the pressure on the jaw joint and muscles. By wearing a night guard while sleeping, the teeth are protected from grinding and clenching, and the jaw can relax. Additionally, night guards can help prevent tooth damage and wear caused by grinding, which can lead to further dental issues if left untreated. Overall, night guards are a simple, effective, and non-invasive way to prevent TMJ disorder and promote better health.
Botulinum toxin has been found to be effective in managing TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder symptoms. TMJ disorder can cause a range of uncomfortable symptoms, including pain in the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, headaches, and difficulty opening and closing the mouth.
TMJ injections work by temporarily paralyzing the muscles that are responsible for jaw movement, reducing overactivity and the force placed on the jaw joint, and providing relief from TMJ symptoms. It’s important to note that the effects of this treatment usually last for several months, after which the injections may need to be repeated.
