TMJ

Have you heard of TMJ? The acronym stands for "temporomandibular joint," a fancy term that means jaw joint – and we all have two of them. TMJ dysfunction occurs when the temporomandibular joints are misaligned, which can create stress for facial nerves and muscles. As a result, many people endure headaches, jaw soreness, ringing in the ears, neck aches, and other painful symptoms related to TMJ dysfunction.

Dr. Bolding will evaluate your bite and determine the appropriate steps to alleviate your pain. TMJ therapy may involve fitting you with an oral appliance, suggesting ways to reduce stress, and recommending therapeutic exercises for pain relief.
