Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders affect the joints that connect your jaw to your skull. When these joints become strained or misaligned, they can cause symptoms such as jaw pain, headaches, clicking sounds, difficulty chewing, and facial discomfort.
At First Dental, we carefully assess the cause of TMJ problems and provide personalised treatment to relieve pain and restore normal jaw movement. Our goal is to reduce discomfort, improve jaw function, and help patients return to everyday activities without pain.
TMJ disorders can develop due to teeth grinding, stress, jaw injury, or bite misalignment. With proper diagnosis and treatment, most patients experience significant relief and improved quality of life.
During your visit, our dentist will evaluate your jaw movement, bite alignment, and joint function. We will check for signs of teeth grinding, jaw stiffness, and muscle tenderness.
Based on the findings, we may recommend treatments such as custom night guards, bite correction, or therapy to reduce pressure on the jaw joints. Our goal is to relieve pain and improve jaw function with comfortable and effective solutions.
