Do you struggle with jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds when you chew, or headaches that just won’t go away? Living with TMJ pain can be frustrating and exhausting, but you’re not alone. At Fairlington Dental, we understand how debilitating these symptoms can be, and we’re here to help. With a variety of effective treatment options, we’re committed to helping you find lasting relief and get back to living your life comfortably.
Understanding TMJ Pain
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) acts like a sliding hinge, connecting your jawbone to your skull. It’s responsible for all the movements we take for granted—talking, eating, even smiling. When this joint becomes irritated or misaligned, it can cause significant discomfort, known as temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD).
Symptoms of TMJ disorder include:
- Persistent jaw pain or tenderness
- Clicking or popping noises in the jaw when moving it
- Difficulty chewing or opening your mouth fully
- Recurring headaches or neck pain
- A feeling of pressure or fullness in the ears
Sound familiar? If these symptoms resonate with you, it’s time to explore treatment options designed to ease your pain and improve your quality of life.
How Fairlington Dental Can Help
At Fairlington Dental, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. Your jaw is unique, and so is your journey to relief. That’s why we offer personalized treatments tailored to your specific needs:
- Custom Nightguards
Do you wake up with a sore jaw? Teeth grinding or clenching during sleep is a common contributor to TMJ pain. A custom nightguard, designed to fit perfectly to your teeth, protects your jaw and prevents further stress on the joint. - Laser Therapy for TMJ Relief
Modern technology has revolutionized TMJ treatment, and we’re proud to offer laser therapy as a gentle, non-invasive way to reduce inflammation and promote healing in the joint. This advanced treatment is quick, painless, and highly effective. - Orthodontic Solutions
Sometimes, a misaligned bite is the root cause of TMJ issues. With solutions like Invisalign, we can correct your bite and help alleviate the pressure causing your discomfort. - Botox for Jaw Tension
For patients experiencing severe clenching or grinding, Botox can be a game-changer. This treatment relaxes overactive muscles, reducing tension and relieving pain. - Stress Reduction Strategies
Stress and TMJ pain often go hand in hand. We’ll work with you to identify potential stressors and suggest techniques to relax your jaw and reduce strain.
