Jaw discomfort, headaches and difficulty chewing are more than just daily annoyances – they may be signs of a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. Our dentist and team offer personalized TMJ treatment in Brookhaven, Georgia, to relieve pain, restore comfort and help you enjoy everyday activities again. With a gentle and modern approach, we are here to support your long-term jaw health.
Understanding TMJ Disorders
The temporomandibular joint connects your jaw to your skull and plays a vital role in speaking, eating and facial movements. When this joint becomes inflamed or misaligned, it can lead to discomfort and limited function. TMJ disorders may develop due to teeth grinding, stress, arthritis or jaw injury.
Common symptoms of TMJ disorders include:
- Jaw pain or tenderness
- Clicking or popping sounds when opening the mouth
- Headaches or neck pain
- Difficulty chewing or locking of the jaw
- Facial soreness or pressure
Dr. Emily Wolfe will perform a thorough evaluation to diagnose your condition and create a treatment plan that fits your needs and lifestyle.
