Your lower jaw can move around because of the temporomandibular joints on either side of your face. You can feel them if you place your fingers below your ears and open and close our mouth. Unfortunately, teeth grinding can be a big contributing factor to TMJ problems, causing those joints to become irritated. Millions of people grind their teeth without even realizing it while they are asleep.
To address this problem and get relief from painful TMJ symptoms, you can get one of our night guards. This is similar to a mouthguard that you wear while you sleep. It:
Many people find a night guard is sufficient to alleviate their TMJ symptoms. However, you may want to use your night guard along with other changes. Finding ways to ease stress or learning new ways to manage stress can help. Temporarily avoiding foods that are difficult to bite and chew can allow the muscles around your jaw to heal.

The staff and hygienist are so kind and understanding. When I need a quick cleaning, they are efficient and get me out with a nice clean smile in 30 minutes ! And Dr Thompson worked well with my PTSD from childhood dental abuse. I’m no longer scared of the big bad needle. I got a crown that didn’t hurt at all! He’s the best !
It was my first time going to a dentist in years and they made it very comfortable for me. They told me step by step what they were going to do before they did it. Made conversation and gave me solid advice. I’d definitely recommend them 🙂
very pleasant appointment! Dr. Stewart and William were awesome! -They both made sure I was comfortable before, during, and after my procedure. The front staff was friendly! I also felt like I was taken care of in a timely manner.
Had a horrible experience with my previous dentist so I decided to try out Sabal dental which was recommended by a few friends. The staff are very attentive and friendly. I had to come back in for a filling 2 weeks after my first appointment and was in and out within an hour pain free. Love Love Love this office!
I called Sabal Dental to schedule an appointment for my mom because she was having tooth pain. Alicia did a great job verifying her insurance & was able to schedule her the same day for X-rays, an exam & a cleaning. Hilda did a great job, my mother felt very comfortable during the cleaning & she could not be any happier with the treatment plan recommended by Dr. Montalvo, we left with the next appointment scheduled. Thank you Sabal Dental for taking good care of my mother.
I’ve been coming here to Sabal Dental for about two years now and I actually look forward to coming here for my dental check ups. I love the fact that they send out reminders and that they also call you, being that I travel they always try to accommodate my schedule. Plus the staff is just awesome. Thanks 👍🏽
I found the staff personable, friendly, and efficient. I was very pleased with my first experience at Sabal Dental. Thanks for an excellent first visit with Jessica, Allison, and Dr. Blankenship.
I have been going to Sabal dental for over a year now. I went in today to have some Crown work performed. Jolene did an excellent job explaining the procedure and what was going to be done to make me feel completely relaxed. Doctor Sperry took her time to make sure that I was comfortable during the whole procedure. I would highly recommend this dental clinic for any work or general cleaning anyone might need.
TMJ problems typically won’t go away without treatment. TMJ pain is usually caused when the joints in your jaw become inflamed. This commonly occurs because of two habits that put your jaw under pressure: clenching and teeth grinding. We can make a custom mouthguard for you that will stop these behaviors so that your jaw can heal.
There is no standard length for TMJ treatment. It depends on many factors, including the severity of your symptoms. Since a mouthguard not only relieves TMJ pain but also prevents damage to teeth caused by grinding, many patients make it a permanent addition to their bedtime routine.
Your insurance may pay for a portion of the cost of your TMJ treatment. We recommend you check with your carrier to determine what they will and won’t cover. We’ll work with your insurance to maximize your benefits and ensure that your out-of-pocket cost is minimal. Our team wants you to get the help you need to feel better.
