TMJ Treatment
TMJ Syndrome is officially known as Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome, and it is associated with pain in the jaw joint that can be caused by a variety of problems. The temporomandibular joint connects the lower jaw to the skull in front of the ear. By placing your finger close to your ears on the side of your face you can feel these joints. Issues associated with TMJ Syndrome include a clicking sound while eating, a jaw that is locked in position or difficult to open, head aches, facial and ear pain. For those suffering from TMJ Syndrome, Wayne G. Suway, DDS, MAGD will conduct a thorough examination to diagnose TMJ and determine the underlying causes.
TMJ Syndrome is a condition that can come and go; yet it often gets worse over time. TMJ Syndrome is often caused by a misaligned bite, and Dr. Wayne Suway can design a treatment plan to stabilize the teeth and jaw alignment with a temporary bite guard. Once improvements are seen through the use of a bite guard, Dr. Suway can present long-term treatment options to best meet the individual needs of each patient. It is important for people wish pain in their jaw to see their dentist. Treatment for TMJ Syndrome has the highest success rates when begun during the early stages of the condition.
