TMJ Treatment
Individuals experiencing jaw pain are encouraged to seek TMJ treatment at Crystal Family Dental in Bridgewater, Massachusetts. Symptoms like a popping or clenched jaw may indicate an underlying issue that requires careful diagnosis. To gain insights into the potential causes of Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD), please contact Crystal Family Dental at 508-697-6596 to schedule a consultation with our experienced dentist.
The TMJ, or temporomandibular joint, serves as the vital connection between the lower jaw and the rest of the head. Often, the term “TMJ” is utilized to refer to TMJ disorder, also known as TMD, a condition arising from stress, injury, or misalignment of the jaw joint. Contributing factors may include stress, bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching), arthritis in the TMJ, or head, neck, and jaw trauma.
Frequent jaw pain or facial pain may be indicative of TMD. Additional symptoms encompass grinding, clicking, or popping sounds in the jaw, limited mouth opening for speaking, yawning, or chewing, a locked or stuck jaw, pain while chewing or biting, discomfort in the neck, shoulders, or ears, and recurrent headaches.
To pinpoint the cause and severity of your TMJ disorder, our dentist will conduct a comprehensive evaluation. Treatment options for TMD may range from jaw and facial relaxation exercises and lifestyle adjustments to restorative dental procedures, mouthguards, or even jaw surgery.

"We have been going to Crystal Family Dental for decades! They are as close to painless as possible, always cheery, and great at what they do. With their help and expertise, one of my 'baby teeth' made it to 56 years old! When it was time for it to go, they referred a surgeon for an implant, and he was also great. I would never go to anyone else. They are terrific!"
