You may be so used to it, that you almost forget about it—pain in your neck, stiffness and soreness in your jaw, tension that seems to radiate from your head through every part of your body. Then when you stop and try to relax, you realize just how much pain and soreness you’re living with every day. It’s possible that you’re suffering from TMD/TMJ in Buckhead, or temporomandibular joint disorder.

Stop and think right now if you’ve experienced any of these symptoms:

• Headaches/Migraines
• Neck, shoulder or back pain
• Facial pain
• Clicking or grating sounds in the jaw joints
• Limited movement or locking jaw
• Unexplained loose, worn, or cracked teeth
• Pain or soreness around the jaw joints
• Congestion or stuffiness of the ears

If your symptoms are the result of TMD, the great majority of the time we can restore your jaw to balance and relieve your signs and symptoms, including pain, through precision, non-surgical TMJ treatment.  In short, you don’t have to live with chronic facial pain and headaches, tension, or jaw discomfort.

There are diagnostic tools and therapies that can relieve your symptoms by gently and naturally realigning your bite, relieving your pain, and managing tooth grinding and clenching. Depending on the specifics of your TMJ/TMD in Buckhead, we can custom-fit you with a bite appliance, adjust your bite where necessary by lowering or building up your teeth, or in some cases, place restorations for a custom-created bite.

If we’ve described your pain and symptoms in this article, relief can begin with a call to our Buckhead dental office at 404.255.7500 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Todd Davis.
