One of the most complex joints in your body, the temporomandibular joint, or TMJ, is located below the ears on either side of your head. These joints serve as hinges for your upper and lower jaws and make it possible for you to chew, swallow, talk and yawn. When it becomes painful or difficult to move, it’s important to seek
Louisville TMJ treatment from our team of professionals at Parkside Family Dental.
Louisville TMJ Treatment
If you experience a clicking or popping sound when you move your mouth, your jaw becomes locked or difficult to move or you suffer from facial pain, be sure to describe these symptoms to our dentist. A TMJ disorder can be attributed to a number of causes, including arthritis, dental injuries and teeth grinding. Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism, is not only a potential cause of this condition, but can exacerbate an already existing case of TMJ disorder. To prevent teeth grinding and alleviate the symptoms of TMJ disorder, our dentist can provide a customized night guard. The night guard fits over your top and bottoms teeth, like a retainer, keeping your teeth slightly separated while you sleep. The night guard reduces pressure on the temporomandibular joints to deliver helpful
Louisville TMJ treatment. Our team of professionals will guide you on how to properly wear and care for your night guard, for the most effective treatment results.
