TMJ/TMD Treatment

The temporomandibular joint or TMJ acts as a sliding hinge that connects your jawbone to your skull. Any dysfunction in the area can lead to severe pain and discomfort. Apart from that, you will have difficulties chewing, and your jaws might also click and lock.

The exact cause of TMJ disorder is often hard to determine. There can be one or many factors responsible for this, like genetics, arthritis, or jaw injury. Some people have this habit of grinding their teeth, called bruxism, at night continuously, and that can lead to TMD.

In most of the cases, the pain and discomfort associated with TMD are temporary and can be managed by some self-care tips and non-surgical treatments. Surgical methods are only prescribed when the condition is really serious and the issues cannot be rectified by normal procedures.

Dentist at Springs Dental of Plantation, Florida, offers high-quality nightguards for people suffering from TMD due to bruxism. They are made of quality raw materials that are safe to wear and customized to fit inside your mouth comfortably.
