Symptoms of TMD include:

  • Loss of hearing

  • Discomfort when biting and chewing
  • Pain, aching or tenderness in the jaw/face
  • Shoulder and neck pain
  • Difficulty opening the mouth

The causes of TMJ are numerous, says Dr. Heidari, and before an effective treatment can be determined, patients must be certain of the cause in their particular situation. One very common cause is arthritis caused by teeth grinding. Another is a displaced disc between the socket and jawbone. Our skilled team of dental professionals analyzes your jaw to determine the cause of your condition.

TMJ / TMD treatment can range from nonsurgical options such as anti-inflammatory drugs and bite plates to surgical procedures for more complex TMJ related issues.

If you are having difficulty opening your mouth, have pain in your jaw or , you may have a TMJ / TMD disorder . Please call our Aptos dental office at 831.688.6531 or send an email to Info@CreekViewDentistry.com to schedule an appointment and get relief now.
