<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>The mouth has one temporomandibular joint on each side. These joints connect the jaw to the rest of the face. Besides moving up and down, they also provide motion from side to side. This flexibility is what allows people to talk, laugh, and eat. These activities are vital parts of life.</p>
<p>On the inside, these joints are covered with cartilage for protection. A special disk rests in between the ball and socket to provide extra cushioning. Muscles and tendons connected to the jaw hold it in place and also assist with motion.</p>

<p>Damage to the individual components of TMJ can lead to several serious problems. These include:
<ul class="bullet-list">
<li>Intense headaches</li>
<li>Ear pain</li>
<li>Chronic TMJ pain</li>
<li>Tense facial muscles</li>
<li>Inability to open or close the mouth</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>These conditions are known as temporomandibular disorders or TMD. Many people call them TMJ, though. A TMJ dentist understands how to alleviate joint pain symptoms using a combination of physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and advanced treatment options.</p>

<p>Medical professionals are not entirely sure what causes TMD. <a title="Read more about TMJ disorders" href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/tmj/symptoms-causes/syc-20350941" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-TMJ-Dentist">According to the Mayo Clinic</a>, pain may be due to a combination of physical and genetic factors. Certain conditions can increase your risk of developing TMJ problems or contribute to pain:
<ul class="bullet-list">
<li><b>Arthritis:</b> Rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis can damage cartilage and expose sensitive nerves in the jaw, leading to chronic pain and inflammation of surrounding tissues.</li>
<li><b>Jaw injury:</b> A sudden blow or fracture can hurt the TMJ and related bones, cartilage, or disks. Misaligned or damaged parts of this sensitive area can provoke severe pain almost immediately.</li>
<li><b>Dislocation:</b> A dislocated jaw can have long-term effects on the tendons, cartilage, and muscles in the affected area.</li>
<li><b>Tooth alignment issues:</b> Some people are born with severely misaligned teeth, which can add to the discomfort that joints deal with and cause improper wear.</li>
<li><b>Chronic grinding or clenching of teeth:</b> Constantly clenching teeth or grinding them increases the risk of developing TMD and makes it harder to treat inflammation.</li>
<li><b>Stress:</b> People under a lot of stress may develop TMJ pain and inflammation if they start to grind or clench the teeth.</li>

<h2 itemprop="alternativeHeadline" class="text-contrast">How a TMJ Dentist Can Help</h2>
<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>There are many treatments to help with TMJ pain. Some reduce inflammation of sore tissues and strengthen the patient’s jaw muscles. Other therapies promote relaxation and help to ease tense muscles and tendons.</p>
<p>Another way TMJ dentists provide relief is by correcting poor dental alignment. When teeth fit together correctly, TMJ muscles can work smoothly. This can also help to prevent clenching and grinding. Using special orthodontic appliances or mouth guards, it is often possible to reduce the effects of grinding the teeth at night.</p>

<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Every patient is unique, and an in-depth analysis is required to determine the best treatment options available. In most cases, patients do not need corrective surgery to provide relief from symptoms. Noninvasive treatment options include prescription medication, physical therapy, mouth guards, orthodontics, and specialized injections. There is also a minimally invasive technique that involves using fluid to irrigate stuck joints and eliminate debris.</span></p>

<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">How can TMJ dentist patients avoid grinding teeth?</span></p>

<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text"><a title="Read more about What is Tooth-Grinding (Bruxism)?" href="https://www.sleep.org/articles/prevent-grinding-teeth/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-TMJ-Dentist">According to Sleep.org</a>, grinding usually occurs while people are sleeping. It can also happen subconsciously during the day, either due to stress or discomfort from misaligned teeth. One way to avoid this problem is to treat the underlying condition by learning techniques to relax and minimize stress. A mouthguard can also be useful for protecting the teeth from grinding while patients sleep.</span></p>
</span>

<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">How long does TMJ dentist treatment take?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">The time required to experience relief from TMJ pain varies depending on patients’ lifestyle, what type of symptoms they experience, and what is causing the problem. For example, chronic TMJ pain caused by arthritis may require ongoing sessions for therapy and debris removal. In the case of muscle spasms, treatment may only last a few days or weeks.</span></p>

<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">The main indication that it is time to contact a TMJ dentist is having sharp or persistent pain in the jaw muscles. Some people also hear a distinctive click when opening or closing the mouth. Waking up with a stiff or stuck jaw is another sign that patients may have TMD. <a title="Read more about Temporomandibular Disorders (TMJ & TMD)" href="https://www.webmd.com/oral-health/guide/temporomandibular-disorders-tmd#1-3" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-TMJ-Dentist">According to WebMD.com</a>, people with a TMJ disorder may also notice ringing in the ears, toothaches, headaches, dizziness, neck aches, and hearing issues.</span></p>
