Temporo-mandibular Disorder

Are you conscious of your teeth grinding or clenching? Do you have tight, stiff muscles around your jaws when you wake up? Do you frequently have headaches or neck aches? If you have any of these symptoms or others, such as jaw pain, you may be a candidate for TMJ (temporomandibular joint) Therapy.
At NB Dental Clinic, we believe that “less is more” when it comes to treatment, with the awareness that each patient is unique and has their own set of symptoms and lifestyle. That is why we endeavour to provide each of our patients with individualised care and personal consultations with the doctor. We believe in sending you with a “Happy Smile.”

Symptoms

  • Jaw pain
  • Ear discomfort, ringing, or stuffiness
  • Headaches or neck aches on a regular basis
  • When you move your jaw, you may hear a clicking or popping sound.
  • Face swelling
  • Jaw muscle spasms
  • A shift in the top and bottom teeth’s alignment
  • Locked jaw or limited mouth opening

There are a few basic temporary home remedies but no permanent solutions.

  • Relax your face and keep the rule in mind: “Lips together, teeth apart.”
  • Avoid teeth clenching and grinding.
  • Avoid excessive gum chewing.
  • Chew softer items on both sides of your mouth evenly.
  • Maintain proper posture.

For a permanent solution, we advise you to visit a TMD specialist. We have the best TMJ specialist in Tamil Nadu.
