TMD Treatment
Jaw Pain, Clicking, Headaches — You Don't Have to Live With It
If you wake up with a sore jaw, hear clicking when you chew, or deal with unexplained headaches, you already know something is wrong. Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) affects how your jaw moves, how you eat, and how you sleep. The good news: it can be treated.
When Your Jaw Is Telling You Something
TMD affects the temporomandibular joint — the hinge that connects your jawbone to your skull. When this joint is strained, damaged, or misaligned, everyday activities like eating, talking, and sleeping become painful. Left untreated, the problem tends to get worse.
Common Signs
Jaw pain or tenderness, clicking or popping sounds, difficulty opening your mouth wide, locking of the jaw joint, and chronic headaches or earaches.
What Causes It
Teeth grinding (bruxism), jaw clenching, arthritis, trauma, misaligned bite, or stress. Many patients grind their teeth at night without realising it until symptoms appear.
How We Help
Dr Anand conducts a thorough assessment of your jaw, bite, and symptoms. Treatment may include custom occlusal splints, bite adjustment, muscle relaxation therapy, or restorative work to correct underlying dental issues.
The Cost of Ignoring TMD
Untreated TMD can lead to chronic pain, tooth damage from grinding, difficulty eating, and long-term joint degeneration. What starts as occasional clicking can progress to constant pain and restricted jaw movement. Early treatment is simpler and more effective.
