How can Vander Vliet Advanced Dental Care help?
There are a number of ways that we can help you find relief from your TMJ pain. We will first take a look at your teeth & jaw to see if there is any misalignment or other problems that could be causing or contributing to the pain. We may recommend splint therapy, which is a mouthguard-like appliance that you wear at night to protect your teeth from grinding & help keep your jaw in alignment. If your TMJ is caused by arthritis, we may recommend medications or other treatments. We may also refer you to a physical therapist who can assist with reducing the TMJ pain.
