TMJ Therapy
Did you know that an estimated 10 million Americans suffer from TMJ dysfunction? If you live with the painful symptoms of TMJ, including headaches, neck pain, clicking or popping of the jaw, and tingling in the extremities, we can give you the relief you need to lead a productive lifestyle. Problems with the TMJ, or jaw joints, arise when these joints become misaligned, often from stress, injury, or change in your bite. When this happens, the related muscles and nerves get agitated, and you experience discomfort.
Dr. Browder studied the intricacies of the mouth and jaw joints at the prestigious Pankey Institute. He or Dr. Liner will perform a full evaluation to determine the cause of your TMJ dysfunction. Once we have identified the problem, we can correct underlying issues and protect your smile from further damage. Therapy may involve fitting you for an oral appliance to keep your bite in the best position, strengthening exercises, relaxation techniques to reduce stress, and over-the-counter analgesics to relieve pain.
Call Lewisville Family and Pediatric Dentistry to reserve your appointment with Dr. Browder, Dr. Liner, or Dr. Kinlaw. From our new office in Lewisville, we serve patients from Winston-Salem, Clemmons, Yadkinville, Advance, and beyond with comprehensive care designed for the whole family.
