TMJ Therapy

Dentistry is in no way limited to simply taking care of teeth. Closely associated with the teeth and jaws is that actual jaw joint or TMJ. Any type of disharmony in the way you are biting can cause you to grind or clench your teeth, develop debilitating migraines, or even start to chip off teeth.

Once the harmony can be restored, your teeth and muscles can relax again in a "proper" relationship. Most times treatment is simply a laboratory-constucted mouthguard to be worn at night.
