Find relief from TMJ pain and migraines
If you are experiencing migraines or headaches similar to migraines, it is important to inform your dentist about these issues. Additionally, if you feel tightness in your jaw or hear a clicking sound when you open your mouth, or if you are dealing with neck pain or frequent earaches, it is crucial to let your dentist know.
Headaches and facial pain are often caused by issues with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Fortunately, there are various methods available to effectively treat and eliminate these symptoms.
If you would like to schedule a consultation to discuss your concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to us. Alternatively, you can also mention this problem to your hygienist during your next routine visit, and we will work together to determine the best course of action.
