TMJ/TMD Treatment

Do You Suffer from Headaches and Jaw Pain?

TMJ/TMD is often a leading cause of jaw, neck, and shoulder pain as well as frequent headaches or migraines. A dental malocclusion is the reason, which means your bite does not come together as nature intended. This causes the muscles in the scalp, jaw, and adjacent areas to be strained, which leads to pain.

We can restore your bite to its proper position, so you no longer have to put up with frequent pain and suffering. You reap the benefits with increased energy from diminished pain. This new quality to your life will have you smiling more often.

Treatment for Headaches that Improves Your Appearance!

You may not have heard about an FDA-approved use of BOTOX^® therapy for head, neck, and/or facial pain. The same effect of BOTOX that reduces the appearance of wrinkles (relaxing muscles) is used to reduce the intensity of muscle contractions. Intense and/or prolonged contractions of our muscles used for chewing can cause pain and damage to our teeth. Pain can be in the contracted muscle or can be referred to a distant site. Severe clenching and grinding of the teeth can cause the teeth to chip, break, or even need root canal treatments. One BOTOX treatment can provide relief for up to three months, and a side benefit is the reduced appearance of lines and wrinkles. You'll look AND feel refreshed! Schedule your complimentary consultation appointment to learn more or ask us next time you come in.
