Treat TMJ - Midlothian, VA

Don't suffer with the jaw pain and headaches of TMJ

Are You at Risk for TMJ?

If you have chronic jaw pain, it may be the result of an issue with your temporomandibular joint (TMJ), the joint that connects your jaw to your head. The disorder, often referred to as TMD, is fairly common but often arises without warning. Anyone can suffer from TMD and while the main cause is not yet known, there are several contributing factors that can create the need for TMJ treatment, such as:

Teeth grinding (bruxism)
Injury to the jaw or head

Arthritis
Clenching the teeth

Suffering from jaw pain? We offer TMJ treatment as well as complimentary second opinions for all procedures. Dr. Ashlyn Price and Dr. Autumn Mayers are ready to help you feel like yourself again with life-changing dentistry.

TMJ Treatments to Relieve Your Jaw Pain

Dr. Ashlyn Price, Dr. Autumn Mayers offer a range of TMJ treatments customized for your condition. Home care remedies like warm compresses and facial muscle stretches are highly effective for mild cases. However, moderate to severe jaw pain may require more aggressive treatments, from cortisone shots to surgery. Depending upon the cause of your pain, our doctors may also treat teeth grinding or bite misalignment:

Teeth grinding can contribute to your jaw pain. That’s why our doctors may recommend a night guard to protect your teeth while you sleep. Night guards are custom made to fit over your teeth, preventing you from grinding them together.

Occlusal adjustments are designed to find any raised contact points on the teeth that may keep your teeth from fitting together comfortably. Our doctors file down the areas that are creating interference to get your bite to “feel right” again. These may be performed as a TMJ treatment or as a standalone treatment when your bite becomes misaligned by a new filling or restoration.
