TMJ Treatment in Surrey – Relieve Jaw Pain & Discomfort
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the hinge that connects your jaw to your skull, allowing you to talk, chew, and yawn. When problems develop in this joint, it can lead to pain, clicking, limited movement, teeth grinding (bruxism), and even headaches or earaches.
At New Lodge Dental Practice in Surrey, we understand how disruptive TMJ disorders can be. We offer professional assessment and effective treatment options to relieve pain, improve jaw function, and prevent long-term damage. Our team takes a tailored approach, ensuring your treatment is suited to your lifestyle and specific condition.
We may recommend custom-made night guards, also known as occlusal splints, to help reduce teeth grinding and alleviate pressure on the jaw. In some cases, further support such as bite adjustments, stress management techniques, or collaboration with medical professionals may be necessary.
TMJ problems can often go undiagnosed for years, especially when symptoms are mistaken for migraines or ear infections. If you're experiencing jaw pain, facial tension, or waking up with a sore jaw, don’t ignore the signs. Early intervention can prevent worsening symptoms and protect your long-term oral health.
