TMJ & TMD Treatment in Aptos

TMJ & TMD Treatment in Aptos, Santa Cruz, Soquel, Capitola

A Painful or Clicking Jaw Could Be Symptoms of TMJ / TMD

TMJ is an abbreviation for the temporomandibular joints that are in front of the ear on both sides of the jaw. TMJ disorders are referred to as TMD, where the “d” stands for “dysfunction.”

Symptoms of TMD include:

  • Loss of hearing
  • Headaches, earaches and migraines
  • Discomfort when biting and chewing
  • Pain, aching or tenderness in the jaw/face
  • Shoulder and neck pain
  • Difficulty opening the mouth
  • Grating, popping or clicking sounds in the jaw.

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.

“Wow. Just wow. I had a chipped tooth that was fixed 3 years ago but recently fell out. This all happened before i had to leave to meet my girlfriends parets for the first time next week!! He not only saw me on short notice (like squeezed me in last minute!!!) and fixed me up on the spot. The composite he put in looks better than my regular teeth!! This dude is totally awesome and does super good work. I feel like a brand new man!! Not to mention they had really fair prices compared to every other dentist in Aptos and the receptionist ladies were so super nice. THIS IS MY NEW DENTIST!!!”
