TMJ/TMD Joint Pain in La Grange
If you’ve been experiencing discomfort in your jaw, difficulty chewing, or unusual tension around your face, you may be dealing with a TMJ disorder. At La Grange Family Dental, we offer non-invasive treatments to help relieve TMJ-related symptoms and restore normal jaw function.
Understanding TMJ Disorders
TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint - the hinge that connects your jaw to your skull. When this joint becomes strained or misaligned, it can affect how you speak, eat, and move your jaw. We take a comprehensive approach to evaluating your symptoms and identifying the source of discomfort.
Common Symptoms of TMJ Issues
You may be experiencing TMJ dysfunction if you suffer from symptoms such as:
- Jaw tightness or soreness
- Clicking or popping when opening the mouth
- Headaches or facial tension
- Difficulty chewing comfortably
- Limited jaw movement
If you’re experiencing this type of discomfort, it’s important to see a professional who is qualified to treat TMJ disorders right away so you can obtain some relief.
Gentle, Personalized Solutions
We offer a range of treatment options tailored to your needs - from custom night guards to relaxation techniques and bite adjustments. Our goal is to reduce tension, restore comfort, and help you avoid more complex interventions.
Night Guards for TMJ Relief
Custom night guards are often recommended for patients who grind or clench their teeth, especially during sleep. A properly fitted night guard helps reduce pressure on the jaw joint, minimizes muscle strain, and protects your teeth from wear, which can significantly improve TMJ-related symptoms over time.
