TMJ Therapy in NE Calgary - Your Path to a Pain-Free Life

Say Goodbye to Jaw Pain & Headaches

Are you tired of living with persistent jaw pain, headaches, or that annoying clicking sound when you open your mouth?

If so, you’re not alone.

TMJ disorder (TMD) affects millions of people, causing discomfort and impacting their quality of life. But there’s good news: at London Square Dental in NE Calgary, we offer expert TMJ/TMD treatment to alleviate your pain and help you regain control of your jaw.

Understanding TMJ Disorder (TMD)

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jawbone to your skull, allowing you to talk, chew, and yawn. When this joint or the surrounding muscles become inflamed or irritated, it can lead to TMJ disorder (TMD).

Several factors can contribute to TMD, including:

  • Teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism)
  • Stress
  • Misalignment of the teeth or jaw
  • Injury to the jaw or face

These factors can put excessive strain on the TMJ, leading to pain, stiffness, and limited jaw movement.

Common Symptoms of TMD:

  • Pain or tenderness in your jaw, face, neck, or shoulders

  • Headaches or migraines

  • Difficulty chewing or opening your mouth wide

  • Clicking, popping, or grating sounds in the jaw joint

  • Earaches or a feeling of fullness in the ears

  • Dizziness or tinnitus (ringing in the ears)

Comprehensive TMJ Diagnosis & Treatment at London Square Dental

We understand that TMD can be a complex and frustrating condition. That’s why we take a comprehensive and personalized approach to diagnosis and treatment:

  • Thorough Evaluation: We’ll begin with a detailed examination of your jaw, teeth, and muscles, as well as a review of your medical and dental history. We may also use advanced diagnostic tools like 3D imaging or digital X-rays to assess the health of your jaw joint and surrounding structures.

  • Personalized Treatment Plans: Based on your unique needs and the severity of your condition, we’ll develop a customized treatment plan that may include a combination of the following options:

  • Effective Treatment Options:

    • Custom-Fitted Oral Appliances (Splints or Night Guards): These appliances help reposition your jaw, reduce muscle tension, and protect your teeth from grinding or clenching.

    • Physical Therapy & Exercises: We’ll teach you specific exercises and stretches to improve jaw mobility, strengthen muscles, and reduce pain.

    • Medications (if necessary): In some cases, we may prescribe pain relievers or muscle relaxants to manage discomfort in the short term.

Lifestyle Modifications: We’ll provide guidance on stress management techniques, dietary changes, and avoiding habits that can worsen TMD symptoms.
