The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a moving or sliding joint that joins your jaw to your skull, which allows for chewing and speaking. If the TMJ does not function correctly, it is referred to as Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMD). TMD can be a painful condition, but fortunately Valleyview Dental can provide therapy.
If you happen to be suffering from any of the above symptoms, you could benefit from seeing one of our dental professionals. The TMJ is a specialized area and not all have the skills to comfortably treat it effectively.
Our dentist examines your muscles, jaw joints, teeth and gums for signs of TMD. This includes x-rays to look at the alignment of your jaw and the condition of your TMJ. Our dentist will then discuss all findings with you before providing options for therapy.
