TMJ and Bruxism Treatment in Collegeville, PA
Do you suffer from headaches, sore teeth or aching jaws? Clenching and grinding could be the cause, and we can help.
About TMJ and Bruxism
Advanced Dentistry of Collegeville
Clenching your teeth while you sleep can cause painful morning headaches, cracked teeth and sore muscles in the face, neck and back. Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD or TMJ) is a structural imbalance in how the jaw meets the skull, and it can twist the jaw into a strained position that affects the muscles around it.
You may benefit from neuromuscular dentistry if you have worn, chipped or cracked teeth, pain around the jaw joints, clicking or locking, facial, neck or shoulder pain, or congestion in the ears. Dr. Silva starts with a detailed exam and diagnostic testing so treatment is based on the right diagnosis, not guesswork.
