TMJ/TMD Treatment in Carmel, NY
Relief for Chronic Jaw Pain
Pain in your jaw can make everyday activities like chewing and biting uncomfortable. At Doyle Dental, we evaluate patients experiencing jaw pain and other problems associated with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and temporomandibular disorders (TMD).
If you are experiencing persistent jaw discomfort, we can examine your jaw and determine an appropriate treatment plan for your situation.
Understanding TMJ & TMD
What Are TMJ and TMD?
The temporomandibular joint connects your jaw to your skull and allows your jaw to move when you chew, bite, and speak. TMJ refers to this joint, while TMD refers to painful conditions associated with the joint.
Problems affecting this area can make normal jaw movement uncomfortable and may interfere with everyday activities such as eating.
When Jaw Pain Affects Everyday Life
Common Signs You May Need an Evaluation
You may benefit from a TMJ/TMD evaluation if you experience:
- Jaw pain when chewing
- Discomfort when biting
- Pain where the jaw connects to the skull
- Ongoing or recurring jaw discomfort
- Difficulty with normal chewing or biting
If you are experiencing these problems, Doyle Dental can evaluate your jaw and determine whether TMJ/TMD may be contributing to your discomfort.
