Am I a Candidate for TMJ Treatment?

 

candidate for tmj treatmentTMJ and TMD disorders can sometimes be hard to diagnose, but its symptoms are common and often frustrating to deal with. Many patients unfortunately suffer from TMJ symptoms for a long duration of their lives without seeking help. Our dentists and TMJ specialists in the city of Rockville can help you determine if your symptoms check out and if you are a candidate for TMJ treatment.

 

Common TMJ and TMD Symptoms

 

The most common symptoms of TMJ are recorded as extreme jaw pain and discomfort, usually accompanied by limited jaw mobility, facial pain, dull headaches, earaches, worn teeth, and more. Grinding of the teeth is a habit commonly found in patients with TMJ, and this habit can cause excessive damage to the jaw, oral nerves, and the teeth themselves. If left untreated, the damage caused by TMJ and TMD can become permanent. While these symptoms can be experienced mildly, more severe symptoms reported by our TMJ specialists include limited jaw mobility, the inability to chew certain foods, and the locking of the jaw. Tooth decay, permanent jaw misalignment, and nutritional deficiencies may occur. If you experience any of these symptoms, you may be a candidate for TMJ treatment.

 

 

Our TMJ Specialist’s Treatment OptionsTMJ / TMD

 

Through the advancement of orthodontics, several TMJ and TMD disorder treatments are available. Our dentists can rest your jaw joints to relieve any pain or muscle tightness. Along with medical treatment, dentists often teach stress management techniques as well as mouth muscle exercises to relieve tension, calm pain, and reset the brain from forming stressful bad habits. Appliances such as mouth guards can stop your teeth from damaging themselves during grinding overnight, relieving more tension from the jaw joints. Splint therapy is also available, where handcrafted splints are made to relieve pressure from the joints and reset their functionality.

When I first moved to the area some six plus years ago I stumbled on this gem. All the staff are very accommodating and polite and they truly care about their patients. From the dentist to the dental hygienist they always try their best to help you and education you on dental care. Really could not ask for a better place! If you are in need of dentist this is the place to go.

Hands down the best dentist and dental office that I've visited. The warm and genuine hospitality that April and the entire front desk staff exhibits is unparalleled. Beyond that, once you are seated in the new and sparkling clean dental chair, you immediately know that you are in good hands. Dr. Norkiewicz and his team have provided me with world class dental care for nearly a decade. From routine cleanings to dental implants, they do it all. Go to Rockville Dental Arts if you want something to smile about. You'll be glad that you did.

amazing experience! I had developed severe anxiety around going to the dentist after a bad experience. I found this place after seeing so many great reviews and can definitely see why that is. They made me feel so at ease and informed. I really appreciated their solution-oriented approach. Highly recommend.

I had such a wonderful experience as a new patient at this location. My hygienist (Jackie), was nothing less than phenomenal with my oral care and maintenance. She was very thorough in explaining my care plan, she was extremely personable and genuine which is very important to me. The physicians and staff were all extremely inviting, and impressed upon me that my dental care was their number one priority. I would definitely recommend this location and their team to all!
