TMJ disorder

TMJ disorder (or Temporo-Mandibular Joint dysfunction) is where the joint that allows the jaw to open and close is misaligned or overworked.

Problems with the function of this joint are common, with symptoms including joint pain, clicking or popping of the jaw, limited opening, earaches and headaches.

It can be caused by:

  • Unbalanced bite
  • Unbalanced dental work
  • Increased muscle activity
  • Increased sensitivity to pain
  • Wear and tear to the inside of the joint
  • Certain types of arthritis
  • Injury

Recommended treatment for TMJ disorder is dependent on individual circumstances, considering the severity of the problem and the cause. Common treatments include:

  • Rest
  • Exercises
  • Physical Therapy
  • Pain Killers
  • Habit control - with the use of night time splits
  • Use of a bite splint to help the jaw muscles relax
  • Manual adjustment of the bite by grinding the teeth - occlusal adjustment
  • Reconstructive dentistry
  • Orthodontics

Your Titchfield Dental Health dentist will examine the physical functionality of the joint, as well as the internal health of the soft tissue within the mouth. X-rays and scans may also be used in order to obtain a full overview of functionality and determine the best course of treatment for your individual case.

If you are suffering from joint pain or have any concerns with your jaw function, give us a call on 01489 581158 to book a consultation today.

I have been a patient for over 10 years. I was scared of dental treatment when I first attended and now I am happy to attend my appointments with no fear. Every experience at TDH has been extremely professional, friendly and clear. I have not felt pressured to have treatments that I have not wanted and always been given options of different treatments etc. My recent hygienist appointment was excellent as they have a new machine which got rid of every stain on my teeth and the heated water ment that it was a very pleasant experience. Thank you TDH for your continued excellence over the years.

Always really appreciate the high level of service provided, from the minute you walk in and are greeted by a lovely team of receptionists - Kerrie was on great form again today. Linda made the hygienist visit a pleasure; fab new equipment (no more cold water to hurt any sensitive areas, yay!) and super-meticulous in what she does. All shiny and sparkly - thank you!!

I have recently joined the practice after looking for a dentist in Hampshire area. I was delighted to find Dr Anya who is extremely pleasant, kind and very professional. I never feel rushed when I attend my appointments, she actively listens to my concerns and provides me with pain-free dental treatment. I had 2 fillings done, I was left with no pain after or any issues. I am very lucky to be her patient and I would advise anyone that is anxious of the dental environment to see her.

From my initial check up and diagnostics to completion of the work required which was quiet substantial everything was explained in detail and cost estimated . The work carried out was excellent and has worked wonders for the confidence l now have in my oral health and appearance .

Anya is a great dentist. She is professional, kind, patient and a good communicator, who puts even a nervous patient like me at ease. Definitely 10 out of 10. And Titchfield Dental Health is a first rate dental practice.

I have had 2 appointments this week First one, a dental check up with Anya and nurse Ann. The second a Hygienist appointment with Linda and nurse Cody I am extremely satisfied with my treatments and the professionalism and care carried out by everyone. Also I need to mention the reception team members all of whom are kind and helpful. This surgery is a fine example of how a Dental surgery should aspire to. I speak as someone prior to joining the Dental practice had underwhelming treatment from a local previous dentist. I would not hesitate in referring Titchfield Dental Care to anyone looking for a great dental practice.

Everyone at this Dental practice are friendly, highly approachable knowledgeable and motivated. I am extremely highly impressed every time I attend. I came after being a patient at a local NHS dentist that I was extremely disappointed with treatments carried out.

My experience at this clinic and especially with Anya has been amazing. I hated going to see the dentist due to pervious bad experiences but I will now happily go to my appointments. Thank you.
