TMJ Treatment Rowville, Melbourne

Are you suffering from TMJ pain or discomfort? It’s best to have it checked out at Crown Dental Group

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can severely affect your teeth and jaw and may be due to teeth grinding (bruxism) or clenching of the teeth. Both are common habits or even reflexes that happen mostly at night and are difficult to stop.

Evaluating Your Jaw for TMJ Problems

If caught and treated early, it can prevent pain and devastating tooth loss. Some complications of tooth grinding, and clenching are:

Broken crowns
Broken fillings
Fractured teeth
Localised gum recession
Strain on the TMJ joints
Uneven, rough or sharp surfaces of the teeth

How we treat TMJ problems

Surprisingly, the majority of TMJ sufferers are unaware that the source of their problem is something our dentists can effectively treat. These habits can lead to TMJ syndrome, which usually involves severe headaches, jaw pain, clicking in the jaw, difficulty opening and closing the mouth, locking of the jaw and ringing in the ears.

Your comfort and well-being are at the heart of what we do at Crown Dental Group. Pain relief is our dentist’s first consideration and then we’ll devise an immediate plan to treat the underlying cause.
