Your healthcare provider or dentist will evaluate your symptoms and conduct a thorough examination of your jaw. This assessment may involve:
- Listening to and observing the movement of your jaw as you open and close your mouth.
- Assessing the range of motion in your jaw.
- Palpating areas around your jaw to identify any sites of pain or discomfort.
If a problem is suspected, further diagnostic tests may be necessary, including:
- Dental X-rays to assess the teeth and jaw.
- CT scan to obtain detailed images of the bones within the joint.
- MRI to identify issues with the joint's disk or surrounding soft tissue.
- TMJ arthroscopy, a minimally invasive procedure involving the insertion of a small camera into the joint space to aid in diagnosis.
Treatment
For TMJ disorders, treatment may vary and often involves a combination of approaches. These may include:
Therapies:
- Oral splints or mouth guards to reduce jaw pain.
- Physical therapy incorporating exercises, ultrasound, heat, and ice to strengthen jaw muscles.
- Counseling to educate on behaviors that may exacerbate pain, such as teeth clenching or biting fingernails.
TMJ surgical procedures:
- Arthrocentesis, a minimally invasive procedure to irrigate the joint and remove debris.
- Injections of corticosteroids or botulinum toxin type A (Botox) into the joint or jaw muscles.
- TMJ arthroscopy, a surgical procedure using a small camera to treat various TMJ disorders.
- Modified condylotomy, a surgery addressing the TMJ indirectly through mandibular procedures.
- Open-joint surgery (arthrotomy) for structural issues in the joint, considered after other options have been exhausted.

FAQ's
In order to prevent dental problems, your child should see a pediatric dentist when the first tooth appears, or no later than his/her first birthday.
Primary, or "baby," teeth are important for many reasons. Not only do they help children speak clearly and chew naturally, they also aid in forming a path that permanent teeth can follow when they are ready to erupt.
Thumb and pacifier sucking habits will generally only become a problem if they go on for a very long period of time. Most children stop these habits on their own, but if they are still sucking their thumbs or fingers past the age of three, a mouth appliance may be recommended by your pediatric dentist..
Cosmetic dentistry is one or more dental treatments that enhance the appearance of your teeth. It could include:
Laser dentistry is a branch of dentistry that uses lasers to address several oral health conditions that patients have. Dentists who use this method must train to use specialized lasering tools instead of shots and drills. Moreover, they use lasers to detect cavities, fix gum problems, eliminate decay from a tooth, perform oral surgery, treat snoring, and remove fibroma.
Instead of cutting tissue, using shots for anesthesia, drills to cut away the tooth, and using bulky machines to prevent snoring, dentists can use lasers to address oral health issues. In addition, laser dentistry offers more benefits than traditional methods. It is an excellent alternative for patients who want a quicker recovery and a better experience at the dentistāsĀ office.
At Dentitia we choose laser dentistry because it offers some pretty unique and amazing advantages over more traditional approaches. After all, our goal is to provide our patients with a comfort treatment each and every time. Here are some of the benefits of laser dentistry:
- A faster healing time
- Less post-surgical bleeding
- Less pain
- Anesthesia may not be necessary
- Lasers are sterile, which means there is less chance for an infection
- Lasers are extremely precise, so less healthy tissue has to be removed
- Less likely to need stitches with laser treatment

Dental implants are made of titanium and can never getĀ dentalĀ decay!

Botox is used for a variety of things but is most often used to lessen the signs of aging. If you're in your 20s, 30s or older, you've probably started to notice those less-than-desirable facial wrinkles almost everyone has. Years of smiling, frowning and even laughing can cause creases in our faces and beyond, so if you don't like what you see, Botox might be a good option for you.
