Is it becoming more and more common for you to experience pain when you bite and chew, or resistance in your jaw movement? Do you regularly experience issues with headaches, facial pain, or nightly teeth grinding? At our Riverside, CA dentist’s office, these problems can be discussed, and you can learn about how TMJ treatment can improve your quality of life. Problems with your jaw alignment and movement can create worsening discomfort when you bite and chew, and they can lead to bruxism, chronic headaches, and other issues. Whether you simply need to focus on correcting joint problems or also need to address oral health issues, we can make sure that your troubles are fully resolved!

The Warning Signs Of TMJ Disorder

There are several issues that you can experience that warn you TMJ disorder is an issue. They include problems with painful or limited joint movement, struggles with teeth grinding and clenching, more common headaches, and trouble with facial pain and stiffness. Taking these problems seriously can certainly benefit you—after all, the sooner you act, the sooner you can put your discomfort behind you.

Beginning Treatment To Address Jaw Pain And Stiffness

Problems with jaw pain and stiffness are often linked to poor joint alignment and stress on the joints and muscles. With a custom oral appliance, we can help restore their balanced movement and resting position. This reduces pain and stiffness, and encourages better bite function. When appropriate, we can also provide a custom guard to help you if you have a habit of teeth grinding and clenching.

Restoring Teeth That Do Not Contribute Properly To Your Bite Function

If poor dental health makes it harder for you to bite and chew food, it can be difficult to maintain balanced jaw movement. Fortunately, our practice is prepared to help! Dental crowns are capable of restoring the appearance and health of teeth, which can lead to better bite support.
