2012-09-09

HINSDALE, IL, September 09, 2012 (Press-News.org) TMJ disorders are actually more common than one might think. Unfortunately, that means many people suffer from the painful, annoying symptoms that TMJ produces. Having TMJ can absolutely disrupt your daily activities and tasks. Patients with TMJ typically suffer from symptoms indicative of this disorder.

TMJ symptoms include: jaw locking; painful jaw popping; limited jaw motion/movements; jaw grating sounds (when opening and closing your mouth); pain in the region of your neck, face, and/or shoulders; sore or painful jaw muscles and/or jaw joint; and/or a sudden change in the way the lower and upper teeth fit together (when biting down).

Having any number of these symptoms can wreak havoc in your daily life. Thankfully there are treatments for TMJ disorder, and they are offered at Smiles by Morgan dental office.

TMJ Treatment Options
Patients have a few options when it comes to TMJ treatment. The treatments range from conservative, self-care remedies to surgical procedures. Dr. Morgan of Smiles by Morgan can help you decide which treatment(s) are the best for your individual situation.

Some self-care treatments for TMJ include: eating soft foods, taking over-the-counter pain medications (Advil, Tylenol, etc), applying heat packs or cold packs to the jaw area, wearing a night guard, and avoiding gum chewing and other extensive jaw movements.

Patients can typically find relief by using a combination of self-care treatments. Therefore, surgery and injections should be the last resort if nothing else is effective. Surgical procedures are usually needed only when significant damage has been done to the jaw joint, or when non-invasive, self-care remedies are unsuccessful.
