Dealing with pain can be very difficult. Are you trying to get through your day with pain you feel every hour of your day?
You may have TMJ or TMD Disorder of the jaw.
Are you suffering from any or all of these symptoms?
- Headache, jaw, ear, or facial pain
- Being unable to open the mouth comfortably
- Clicking, popping or grating sounds in the jaw joint
- Locking of the jaw when attempting to open the mouth
- A bite that feels uncomfortable or “off”
- Neck, shoulder and back pain
- Numbness in the fingertips
- Clenching or grinding teeth
- Difficulty Swallowing
- Swelling on the side of the face
- Ringing in the ears
- Blocked ears and decreased hearing
- Ear pain
- Dizziness or Vertigo
If you answered "YES" to any of these symptoms, you need to come in today for a TMJ Evaluation.
Bear in mind that occasional discomfort in the jaw joint or chewing muscles is common, and is not always a cause for concern. Many people with certain TMJ problems get better without treatment. Often the problem goes away on its own in several weeks to months. However, if the pain is severe and lasts more than a few weeks, we will need to see you for a simple evaluation to effectively help you.
We are here to help you get out of pain and enjoy life again. If you've not visited us before and feel you may have some or all of the symptoms listed above, we thoroughly
recommend you contact us at Active Dental on 9891 5353 or jayne@activedental.com.au for a consultation to find
out how we can help you.
