Ease Jaw Pain With TMJ Treatment in Chattanooga

Chances are, you’ve never heard of your temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which connects your jaw to your skull. Yet inflammation in your TMJ can result in a TMJ disorder, a condition that makes it painful to use your jaw. If your jaw aches all the time, ask us if TMJ treatment in Chattanooga can relieve your pain.

Benefit From Two Types of TMJ Treatment

Dr. Gallien or Dr. Eudaly can fit you for a custom mouthguard that relieves pressure on your jaw and prevents you from clenching or grinding your teeth, two habits that aggravate TMJ pain. Since many people grind their teeth in their sleep, we may suggest wearing a mouthguard at night and/or at other times. At many dental practices, a mouthguard is your only option. To provide additional relief, we can also treat you with an injectable muscle relaxant that relieves pressure on your jaw.

Don’t Suffer With Headaches & Other TMJ Symptoms

 

TMJ disorders impact your jaw, but they can affect other areas of your body too. See us for a TMJ assessment if you are experiencing these symptoms:

  • Swollen face, especially around your jaw
  • Frequent headaches or migraines
  • Lockjaw
  • Unexplained earaches
  • Pain in neck and/or shoulders
