FAQs
What causes TMJ disorders and how do I know if I have one?
TMJ disorders often result from jaw injury, arthritis, or muscle strain due to teeth grinding or clenching. Common signs include jaw pain, clicking sounds, headaches, and difficulty opening your mouth fully. A dental exam at Beetham Family & Cosmetic Dentistry can help diagnose your condition accurately.
How does bruxism affect my teeth and jaw?
Bruxism, or teeth grinding, can wear down tooth enamel, cause tooth sensitivity, and strain jaw muscles. Over time, it may lead to persistent jaw pain or TMJ issues. Early treatment can prevent these complications.
What treatment options are available for TMJ and bruxism?
We offer custom-fitted nightguards to protect your teeth, recommend exercises to relax jaw muscles, and provide guidance on lifestyle changes that reduce stress-related grinding. In some cases, we may coordinate with other healthcare providers for comprehensive care.
Is TMJ therapy painful or invasive?
Most TMJ and bruxism treatments at Beetham Family & Cosmetic Dentistry are non-invasive and comfortable. Custom nightguards are easy to wear, and any exercises or therapies are designed to relieve pain, not cause it.
How soon can I expect relief after starting treatment?
Many patients notice improvement within a few weeks, especially when consistently using nightguards and following care instructions. However, treatment timelines vary depending on the severity of your symptoms.
