Relieve Your Aching Jaw With TMJ Treatment in McAllen

Your temporomandibular joints (TMJ) are the joints that connect your jaw to the rest of your skull. You will become aware of them if you have a TMJ disorder. This is likely to make it painful or difficult to open and close your mouth. Fortunately, you can receive TMJ treatment in McAllen, TX.

Your treatment can:

  • Ease pressure on your jaw so it can heal
  • Allow you to  sleep better so you’ll wake up feeling refreshed
  • Relieve headaches, earaches, and other uncomfortable symptoms
  • Make it possible to use your jaw without pain for activities like eating and speaking
  • Prevent you from clenching or grinding your teeth, which can contribute to TMJ pain

If you suspect you may have a TMJ disorder, schedule a consultation by calling 956-247-4994 for an appointment at Sabal Dental.

Stop Grinding Teeth With a Personalized Mouthguard

A variety of factors can contribute to a TMJ disorder, including poor posture and even chewing gum. Two behaviors that are particularly common in those with TMJ dysfunction are grinding your teeth (bruxism) and clenching your jaw. You may not even be aware that you are doing this because it occurs while you sleep. Our team looks for damage to enamel and other problems caused by grinding during every dental exam. Many times you will awaken with your jaw feeling sore, or other members of your household may mention this to you.

To stop clenching and grinding, we can fit you for a custom bite guard. This special mouthguard will:

  • Relieve pressure on your jaw
  • Keep your jaw in a relaxed position while you sleep
  • Protect your teeth from the effects of grinding, such as chips and cracks
  • Fit better than a store-bought bite guard

For TMJ treatment in McAllen, call Sabal Dental at 956-247-4994 or schedule online.
