What TMJ care looks like

TMJ issues show up differently for different people. Some grind or clench at night and wake up sore. Some feel a click when they open wide. Some have headaches or jaw fatigue they never connected to their teeth at all.

We’ll talk through what you’ve been experiencing, examine the joint and your bite, and recommend a starting point. That’s often a custom night guard — a comfortable mouthpiece that protects your teeth and eases pressure on the joint — along with simple changes that can make a real difference.

Frequently asked questions

Could my headaches be coming from my jaw?

They can — clenching and grinding put real strain on the muscles around the jaw, and headaches (especially morning ones) are a common result. An exam can help connect the dots.

What’s a night guard, and will it help?

A night guard is a custom-fitted mouthpiece you wear while you sleep. It protects your teeth from grinding and eases pressure on the joint — and it helps many people noticeably.

Will this go away on its own?

Sometimes a flare-up settles down on its own. But if symptoms keep coming back or are getting worse, it’s worth an exam so we can find out what’s driving it.

Do I need a specialist?

Most TMJ concerns start with a general dentist — that’s us. If your case needs a specialist, we’ll tell you honestly and point you to the right person.

Tired of the clicking and the headaches?

Call us — we’ll examine the joint and your bite and find you a starting point for relief.
