Expert Care for Jaw Pain and Dysfunction at Solt Family Dental
Solt Family Dental is committed to your comfort. When your jaw won’t cooperate, our team provides customized treatment plans to relieve TMJ-related discomfort, restore normal function, and protect your teeth, jaw, and overall well-being.
TMD occurs when the jaw joint becomes inflamed, misaligned, or overworked, leading to symptoms such as:
✔ Jaw pain or tenderness – Especially when chewing, speaking, or yawning.
✔ Clicking or popping noises – When opening or closing the mouth.
✔ Frequent headaches or migraines – Caused by jaw tension.
✔ Difficulty opening or closing the mouth fully – Stiffness or locking sensation.
✔ Teeth grinding (bruxism) – Often a contributing factor to TMD pain.
Treating TMD can ease persistent jaw discomfort, reduce the frequency of headaches, and restore natural jaw movement—making everyday tasks like talking and chewing feel effortless again.
By targeting the source of the issue, treatment can also help prevent further complications from clenching or grinding, preserving your bite and protecting your teeth from unnecessary wear.
Many patients also notice better sleep, fewer muscle aches, and less tension throughout the face, neck, and shoulders. With consistent care, TMD treatment brings lasting relief and supports long-term oral health.
TMD can result from jaw misalignment, stress-related teeth grinding, arthritis or past jaw injuries. Identifying the root cause is the key to finding the right treatment.
Treatment varies but may include custom bite splints, physical therapy, medication, or lifestyle adjustments to reduce strain on the jaw.
Mild cases may improve with rest, but chronic TMD often requires treatment to prevent worsening pain and joint damage.
