Jaw pain symptoms and treatment

Jaw pain symptoms can be addressed in a variety of ways. Before initiating your treatment plan, Dr. Schwarz will conduct a series of diagnostic tests to determine the cause of your symptoms. Although teeth grinding is the leading cause of TMD, your jaw joint problems can be attributed to habitual gum chewing, fingernail biting, trauma to the jaws, stress and other factors.
At Riverheart Family Dentistry, we treat common TMD symptoms including:
- Headaches
- Jaw pain or discomfort
- Ear pain or dizziness
- Bite problems
- Clicking or popping of the jaw
- Frequent jaw locking
For patients whose TMJ problems are caused by teeth grinding, a custom-fit nighttime mouth guard may be recommended. Other patients may require a correction of bite abnormality with orthodontics, dental restorations or the adjustment of bridges and crowns. Regardless of what is causing your jaw disorder, you can trust our dental team to relieve your symptoms with skilled expertise and a gentle, patient-centered approach.
