Temporomandibular Joint Treatment

Find pain relief with TMJ treatment

At the Precision Dental Clinic in Dubai, UAE, we understand that your temporomandibular joints, or TMJs—the joints on the side of your head that connect your jaw to your skull—are among the most intricate joints in your body. They’re engaged whenever you talk, express yourself, chew, yawn, and perform countless other daily mouth movements. Thus, any disorder in these joints can cause a wide range of uncomfortable symptoms.

How do I know if I have temporomandibular joint disorder?

Many individuals suffering from TMJ disorders go undiagnosed for years because the symptoms can be a little tricky to attribute directly to TMJ troubles. However, recognizing common warning signs is the best way to bring these concerns to our team’s attention. Some of the more typical signs may include the following:

  • Persistent headaches
  • Jaw ache
  • Clicking or locking of the jaw
  • Ear or neck pain
  • Swelling of the face
  • Discomfort when chewing
  • Restricted jaw movement

What are some effective treatments for those diagnosed with TMJ disorder?

Identifying the best treatment plan for TMJ disorder greatly depends on understanding the primary cause of the condition, which varies from patient to patient. For instance, some patients might develop pain due to habits like biting nails or chewing hard objects. Simple lifestyle changes could alleviate their discomfort. For those who clench or grind their teeth, a condition known as bruxism that is often coexisting with TMJ/TMD, our dental team might suggest a customized oral appliance be worn during sleep to minimize strain on the jaw. This can provide effective relief from TMJ-related pain and headaches.

We also offer additional treatment options to alleviate TMJ symptoms, such as:

  • Upgrading old dental restorations to improve the bite alignment and reduce strain on your jaw.
  • Replacing missing teeth with dentures, dental bridges, or implants to restore the functionality of your smile.
  • Orthodontic treatments like braces or Invisalign to address serious bite misalignments that can contribute to TMJ/TMD pain.
