Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can significantly impact your quality of life, causing persistent pain, discomfort, and limited jaw function. At Parkway Vista Dental, our skilled team is dedicated to providing comprehensive and effective TMJ treatment to alleviate your symptoms and restore your comfort. Led by Dr. Kamali, our Plano, TX dental practice offers advanced solutions, including facial injectables, to address the root causes of TMJ pain and tension.
What is TMJ Disorder?
TMJ disorders can manifest in various ways, including jaw pain, headaches, earaches, clicking or popping sounds when moving the jaw, and difficulty chewing. These symptoms often stem from muscle tension and inflammation surrounding the TMJ, the joint that connects your jaw to your skull.
Facial Injectables for Targeted Relief
Parkway Vista Dental offers facial injectables as a targeted and effective treatment option for TMJ disorders. These injectables, strategically administered into the affected muscles, work by blocking nerve signals that trigger muscle contractions. By relaxing these muscles, we can significantly reduce pain and tension in the jaw, allowing for improved jaw function and increased comfort.
This treatment is particularly beneficial for patients who experience chronic jaw clenching or teeth grinding (bruxism), which can exacerbate TMJ symptoms. Facial injectables can counteract the impact of these habits, preventing further damage to the TMJ and reducing associated pain.
A Comprehensive Approach to TMJ Treatment
While facial injectables can provide significant relief, we believe in a comprehensive approach to TMJ treatment. During your consultation, Dr. Kamali will conduct a thorough evaluation to assess your specific needs and develop a personalized treatment plan.
Your TMJ treatment plan may include:
- Muscle Relaxation Techniques: Teaching you exercises and stretches to relieve jaw tension.
- Occlusal Splints/Nightguards: Custom-made appliances to protect your teeth from grinding and alleviate jaw pressure.
- Lifestyle Modifications: Recommending strategies to reduce stress and improve jaw posture.
- Pain Management: Recommending pain relief strategies.
At Parkway Vista Dental, we are committed to providing compassionate and effective TMJ treatment, helping you regain comfort and improve your overall well-being.
If you're experiencing TMJ pain or discomfort, don't hesitate to contact Dr. Kamali and her team. We're here to help you find the relief you need!
