Expert Care for Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) to Restore Comfort and Function
True Dentistry Plus in Miami, FL, specializes in diagnosing and treating temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD), a condition affecting the jaw joints and muscles that control jaw movement. Our experienced dental professionals are dedicated to providing relief from the pain and discomfort associated with TMD.
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) acts as a sliding hinge between your jawbone and skull. Disorders in this joint can cause significant discomfort and impair your ability to eat, speak, and even sleep. TMD can be caused by various factors, including genetics, arthritis, or jaw injury. Habits such as teeth grinding can exacerbate the condition, leading to further complications.
If you experience any of the following symptoms, it might be indicative of a TMJ disorder:
Persistent tenderness or pain in the jaw area.
Aching near or around your ears without an ear infection.
Pain or discomfort while chewing or an uncomfortable bite.
Ongoing pain in the face that might seem unrelated to other conditions.
Difficulty in opening or closing the mouth fully.
Don't let jaw pain control your life. If you're experiencing symptoms of TMJ/TMD, contact True Dentistry Plus for a consultation. Our goal is to provide effective relief and improve your quality of life through specialized care.
Identifying the exact cause of TMD can be challenging, but common factors include:
Alteration in the alignment of the jaw due to the erosion of the joint disk.
Damage to the joint cartilage due to various forms of arthritis.
Injury to the jaw from a blow or other impact.
