TMJ disorders are a
variety of problems related to your jaw
joint. Since some types of TMJ problems can
lead to more serious conditions, early
detection and treatment are important.
Usually, more than one type of treatment is
utilized to help resolve TMJ disorders
completely. One of the most important things
to keep in mind is that treatment takes time
to be effective. Dr. VanHoose can help
manage your pain and reduce or eliminate
your popping or clicking joint.
TMJ disorders develop for many reasons. Most
commonly, clenching or grinding your teeth
place stress on your TMJ. Whatever the
cause, the results may include a poor bite,
pain, clicking or grinding noises when you
open your mouth, or trouble opening your
mouth wide.
There are various treatment options that the
oral surgeon can utilize to improve the
comfort and function of your jaw. Dr.
VanHoose will perform comprehensive clinical
and radiographic examinations which will
help determine the proper course of
treatment.
