RELIEF FOR YOUR JAW, HEADACHES, AND MORE

Personalized TMJ treatment that identifies the cause of your pain and helps restore comfortable function.

Jaw pain, headaches, and clicking sounds when you chew aren’t symptoms you should ignore. At Tree City Family Dental, we help patients find relief from temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD), commonly referred to as TMJ disorders.

Our team works to identify the underlying cause of your discomfort and recommend treatment options that help improve jaw function and reduce pain.

What Is TMJ Disorder?

The temporomandibular joints connect your jaw to your skull and allow you to speak, chew, yawn, and move your mouth comfortably. When these joints become strained, injured, or misaligned, painful symptoms can develop.

TMJ disorders may be associated with:

  • Teeth grinding or clenching
  • Stress
  • Jaw injuries
  • Arthritis
  • Bite misalignment
  • Muscle tension

Because several factors can contribute to TMJ symptoms, a personalized evaluation is essential.
