Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ) Treatment
Dentistry is about more than just teeth. At Willow Dental, our TMJ treatment dentist takes a holistic approach to your health which includes the nerves and muscles that control jaw movement. If there is a problem with how your nerves and muscles are collaborating, a problem called TMD (Temporomandibular Disorder) can occur. Our TMJ specialists in Mississauga can help you through any of the symptoms associated with TMD and bring back a sense of comfort to your mouth and jaw.
TMD can cause the following:
- Headaches, earaches, and jaw muscle tenderness
- Pain or pressure behind the eyes
- Clicking, locking, and popping of jaw
- Pain while yawning or chewing
- Arm tingling or numbness
- Tooth damage: cracked or worn down teeth
- Change in bite
- Poor posture and back pain
Your whole body is at risk of being affected by TMD. At Willow Dental, we will diagnose the issue and ensure the proper steps are taken to correct it, reestablishing health and comfort to your jaw.
Treatment for TMD?
When you visit our Mississauga dental office, we will complete a thorough consultation to review your signs, symptoms and past medical/dental history in order to make a treatment plan specifically for you. Possible treatments could include Botox, orthodontics, oral appliances, bite adjustments or full mouth treatment.
Botox services
Botox is an effective, non-invasive treatment option for managing TMD symptoms. By injecting small amounts of Botox into the overactive jaw muscles, we can reduce muscle tension and alleviate pain, headaches, and jaw discomfort. This treatment works by relaxing the muscles responsible for clenching or grinding, providing relief while maintaining natural jaw function. At Willow Dental, our TMJ specialists are trained to administer Botox precisely, tailoring the treatment to your specific needs for optimal results.
