Relieve Jaw Pain & Discomfort With TMD/TMJ Treatment

At Dripping Springs Family Dentistry in Dripping Springs, we know that TMD/TMJ pain and discomfort can impact many patients’ quality of life, which is why we’re proud to provide customized treatments to help.

What’s involved with treating TMD/TMJ?

Dripping Springs Family Dentistry uses custom-made oral appliances to help align our patients’ jaws and reduce pressure on the temporomandibular joint. This appliance can be worn at night or during the day and can significantly improve TMJ/TMD pain, discomfort, and related symptoms.

What are the benefits of TMD/TMJ treatment?

The primary benefit of TMD/TMJ treatment is that it can alleviate pain and discomfort associated with the condition. It can also help improve a patient’s jaw mobility and range of motion, enabling them to bite and chew effectively without pain. Additionally, long-term treatment can improve a patient’s oral health and reduce their risk of developing related health issues.

Who is a candidate for TMD/TMJ treatment?

Patients suffering from chronic headaches, facial pain, jaw clicking or popping, earaches, and difficulty chewing should consider a thorough assessment by our qualified dentist to see if TMD/TMJ treatment is causing these issues. Additionally, patients with a history of head, jaw, or neck trauma may also benefit from this treatment.
