TMJ Treatment

TMJ Treatment

TMJ treatment addresses pain and problems in the jaw joint and the muscles that move it, such as clicking, soreness or trouble opening wide. At Sam's Smile Dental in Humble, we help patients find relief from jaw discomfort.

Common Symptoms

• Jaw pain or tenderness — in front of the ear or along the jaw.
• Clicking or popping — when you open, close or chew.
• Limited opening — a jaw that feels stiff or locks.
• Headaches and earaches — that can come from the jaw muscles.

How We Help

Jaw problems have many causes, including clenching, grinding, bite issues and stress. We start by examining your jaw, bite and teeth, then talk through options that may include a custom oral appliance, bite adjustments and simple at-home care. If your jaw has been bothering you, call our office to talk it through.
