TMJ Treatment in Carlsbad Relieves Jaw Pain and Tension

Your temporomandibular joints (TMJ) play an essential role in your body. They give your jaw its natural opening and closing function. Because of these joints, you can easily talk, laugh, chew, bite, and yawn. But if they stop functioning correctly, it's impossible to ignore. That's when you'll need TMJ treatment in Carlsbad.

With our help, you can enjoy meals without loud popping sounds when you chew and ease chronic discomfort from jaw pain and headaches. You'll protect your teeth from further wear and tear while opening and closing your mouth with ease. Plus, you'll get a better night's sleep and wake up without a sore jaw.

Contact Packard Dental to stop teeth grinding. Ask about our Membership Club for savings on treatment! It's a great option if you don't have insurance.

Discover What's Causing Your TMJ Pain

A TMJ disorder can happen for many reasons. Arthritis, teeth-grinding habits, stress, or injury to your mouth can trigger it.

Whatever the cause, your dentists can provide treatment that stops your pain. First, we'll do an exam and take digital X-rays.

We want to understand your complete oral health before recommending any solution. Based on our findings, we may suggest a custom oral appliance or Botox treatments.

We can make a custom bite guard that prevents you from clenching or grinding your teeth, giving your jaw a chance to heal. The mouthguard will fit you perfectly and last longer than any store-bought product.

Another method of relief is through Botox, an FDA-approved treatment we'll inject in strategic places on your jaw to relieve your pain and encourage natural mouth movement.

Get the Relief That You Deserve

Restorative dental care might also be part of your treatment. It's especially important if grinding has damaged your teeth.

We may also recommend orthodontic solutions, since misaligned teeth can cause a TMJ problem. Fortunately, we have many solutions to correct and align your teeth.

Your dentist will discuss which is suitable for you. We're open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Common Questions About TMJ Treatment / Teeth Grinding

Can TMJ treatment really help me feel better?
Yes, TMJ therapy has brought relief to countless patients who can now talk, eat, and laugh comfortably. Success depends on choosing the right approach for your specific needs. Our practice provides multiple options, including custom mouthguards, orthodontic care, restorative solutions, and Botox®. We'll identify which treatment will give you the best results.
Could my headaches be from TMJ?
Yes, they could be. When your temporomandibular joints become inflamed, the nearby muscles in your head and neck can hurt too, which often feels like migraines. A custom mouthguard can reduce the inflammation in your TMJs and may help your headaches go away.
How do I know if I have a TMJ disorder?
You might notice pain in your jaw, hear clicking or popping when you chew, or struggle to open your mouth all the way. Other signs include facial discomfort, headaches, and pain or ringing in your ears. Your neck and shoulders might ache, or you could have tooth pain that isn't from a cavity. Your jaw might even feel stuck in place. Schedule a visit with us if you notice any of these symptoms.
