Female with jaw pain

Are you experiencing jaw pain, clicking, or difficulty chewing? You may be dealing with a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder.

At Starboard Dental, we understand how TMJ issues can impact your quality of life, and we’re here to help you find relief.

Recognising TMJ Disorders

Common symptoms of TMJ disorders include:

  • Jaw clicking or popping
  • Teeth grinding (bruxism)
  • Tension headaches
  • Muscle fatigue in the jaw area
  • Difficulty or pain when opening your mouth wide
  • Locking of the jaw joint

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to seek professional care-and we can help. TMJ disorders can worsen over time if left untreated.

Orthodontic or restorative dental work

In some cases, we may recommend orthodontic treatment or restorative dental work to correct bite issues contributing to your TMJ disorder.

The Importance of Professional Diagnosis

While home remedies can provide temporary relief, it’s crucial to consult with a dental professional to properly diagnose and treat the underlying cause of your TMJ disorder. Our team at Starboard Dental has the expertise to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs.
