Jaw discomfort, frequent headaches or a clicking sound when you chew may be signs of a temporomandibular joint disorder, also known as TMJ or TMD. At Euro Dental Studio, our dentists and team provide personalized TMJ treatment in Ridgewood and Greenpoint, New York, to help relieve discomfort and restore proper jaw function.
Your temporomandibular joints connect your jaw to your skull and play a key role in daily activities like chewing, speaking and yawning. When these joints become strained or misaligned, it can lead to a wide range of symptoms that impact your comfort and quality of life.
Common Symptoms of TMJ Disorder
TMJ disorders can affect more than just the jaw. Some of the most common signs include:
- Jaw pain or tenderness
- Clicking or popping sounds when opening or closing the mouth
- Chronic headaches or earaches
- Facial muscle soreness
- Limited movement or locking of the jaw
Our dentists will conduct a detailed exam to determine the cause of your symptoms and recommend the best approach for treatment.
Customized Care for TMJ Relief
No two patients experience TMJ the same way, which is why our team takes a personalized approach to care. We may suggest therapies such as bite adjustments, night guards or muscle relaxation techniques to relieve tension in the jaw and promote healing.
Some patients develop TMJ issues due to teeth grinding, jaw injury or stress-related habits. By identifying these underlying causes, our dentists can help you avoid further discomfort and prevent long-term complications.
Advanced imaging and diagnostic tools allow us to assess the condition of your jaw joints with precision. Our treatment plans are designed to reduce pain, restore normal function and help you enjoy everyday activities without discomfort. TMJ therapy is often most effective when started early. If you are experiencing any symptoms, seeking care promptly can help prevent additional strain on your joints and muscles.
