If you are experiencing jaw pain, headaches or difficulty opening and closing your mouth, you may be dealing with a TMJ disorder. Tye Family Dentistry offers personalized TMJ treatment in Macomb, Michigan, to help alleviate discomfort, restore function and improve your quality of life. We take a comprehensive, compassionate approach to diagnosing and treating TMJ disorders for long-term relief.
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jaw to your skull and plays a key role in speaking, chewing and facial movement. When this joint becomes strained or misaligned, it can lead to chronic pain and dysfunction that affects your daily comfort.
Recognizing the Signs of TMJ Disorders
TMJ disorders can stem from a variety of causes, including stress-related teeth grinding, jaw misalignment, arthritis or injury. Many patients live with TMJ symptoms for years without realizing the underlying issue.
Common signs of TMJ disorder include:
- Jaw pain or soreness
- Clicking or popping sounds when opening the mouth
- Frequent headaches or earaches
- Stiffness in the jaw or limited movement
- Pain while chewing or talking
- Facial tension or discomfort
Dr. Eric Tye , Dr. David Kolakowski and Dr. Tia VanSuilichem will perform a detailed evaluation to determine the root cause of your symptoms and develop a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
