TMJ (TMD) Therapy
Relieve Jaw Pain and Restore Comfort
Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD) can cause pain, stiffness, and tension in the jaw, face, or neck. At Okotoks Family Dental Care, we offer personalized TMJ therapy to reduce discomfort, improve function, and help you move and speak without pain.
Finding the Right Solution for You
Our team takes a personalized approach to diagnosing and managing TMD. We’ll begin with a thorough assessment to understand your symptoms and identify potential causes such as stress, teeth grinding, or bite misalignment.
Treatment may include custom nightguards or splints to reduce strain, therapeutic exercises to relax jaw muscles, and lifestyle adjustments to ease tension. By targeting the root cause rather than just the symptoms, we work to restore comfort and long-term balance to your jaw.
Signs You May Have TMJ Disorder
TMD symptoms can vary from mild to severe and may come and go over time. Common signs include:
– Jaw pain or stiffness when chewing or speaking
– Clicking or popping sounds in the jaw joint
– Headaches or ear pain
– Limited jaw movement or locking
If you experience one or more of these symptoms, early evaluation can help prevent the condition from worsening.
