Untreated TMJ problems can lead to chronic joint pain, joint damage, ringing in the ears, sleep disruption, face and neck pain, and difficulty concentrating.
Also, our body’s sense of balance resides in the inner ears, so untreated TMJ can impact our ability to balance and feel steady on our feet. This can then result in dizziness, vertigo, and unsteadiness.
Personalized TMJ Therapy Options
TMJ treatment and relief are possible with your dentist’s help. The first step is scheduling a consultation at Randolph Dental Associates. During this appointment, Dr. Christopher Kaplan will thoroughly evaluate your mouth, jaws, and bite, using diagnostic imaging to pinpoint the pain’s origin.
Depending on your unique needs, Dr. Kaplan might recommend any of the following:
- Oral splints or mouthguards to reposition the jaws
- Anti-inflammatory medications
- Physical therapy
- Prescription muscle relaxers
- Relaxation therapies to deal with stress
- BOTOX® injections
