TMJ Treatment - Waterford, CT

Relieve Jaw Pain, Restore Function

TMJ Treatment Is Essential

Do you suffer from chronic jaw pain, headaches, or discomfort while chewing? These symptoms could be a sign of a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. The TMJ connects your jawbone to your skull and is vital for daily activities like eating, speaking, and yawning. When this joint is misaligned or inflamed, it can lead to significant discomfort and dysfunction. TMJ disorders can result from various factors, including stress, teeth grinding, jaw injury, or arthritis. Beyond pain, untreated TMJ disorders can cause severe dental issues, including worn-down teeth and bite problems. Our team at Coastal Connecticut Dentistry offers effective TMJ treatment options that can alleviate your pain and restore proper jaw function.
