Do you suffer from the common symptoms of TMJ disorder, including jaw pain, headaches, migraines, earaches, or painful chewing? If so, Dr. Sudeep can help, offering targeted TMJ treatments designed to support your best overall health.
What Is TMJ?
TMD (temporomandibular disorder), commonly referred to as TMJ, is characterized by significant pain in the jaw and limitation in jaw joint movement. It can affect chewing, talking, and swallowing, and in some cases can cause breathing issues.
Individuals diagnosed with this condition may experience a range of uncomfortable symptoms, including recurrent facial pain, swelling, constant teeth grinding, facial sensitivity, jaw joint locking, and a limited range of motion in the jaw.
If you are suffering from the following symptoms, it may be time to schedule your TMJ consultation with us at Sunnyvale Family and Cosmetic Dentistry:
- Headaches
- Pain and tenderness around the jaw, ears, cheeks, and neck
- Migraines
- Stiffness in the jaw
- Earaches
- Painful chewing
- Pain while yawning
- Locking of the jaw
- Change in facial expression
- Malocclusion
Our TMJ Treatments
Sunnyvale Family & Cosmetic Dentistry offers several effective treatments to relieve the discomfort and pain associated with TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder. Depending on your diagnosis and the severity of your symptoms, your personalized treatment plan may include:
- Oral Appliance (Bruxism Mouth Guard). Custom-made mouth guards are designed to reduce the strain on your jaw and protect your teeth from grinding or clenching, especially while you sleep. These appliances help alleviate jaw tension, prevent further wear on your teeth, and can reduce headaches and other TMJ-related pain.
- Medicinal Therapy. In some cases, TMJ symptoms may be managed with medications to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, or relax tense jaw muscles. This can include over-the-counter or prescription options, always tailored to your specific needs under Dr. Sudeep’s guidance.
We'll Bill Through Your Medical Insurance
For some medical insurance companies, TMJ therapy is considered a medical expense, not a dental expense. In these cases, Sunnyvale Family and Cosmetic Dentistry bills directly to the medical insurance carrier, saving you time and money!
