TMJ
TMJ and TMD Treatment
Dr. Titensor is one of the few dentists who have had extensive training in temporal mandibular joint disorders - most commonly known as TMJ or TMD. Some of the signs of TMJ could include:
- neck aches or headaches
- tooth sensitivity to hot or cold
- grinding, clicking and popping of joints, wearing down, loose or broken teeth, receding gums, facial pain, jaw locking upon opening or closing of mouth, or even clenching or grinding of your teeth.
Signs of TMJ problems may vary widely from patient to patient, and can lead to seriously long-term problems. Dr. Titensor would be happy to give you a bite evaluation to see how you can get relief from many of these symptoms.
As reported by Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America, seen in People Magazine, and featured in many of Dr. Titensor’s articles, there is a new treatment for headaches that has been touted as a miracle by those who have found relief without the use of prescriptive medication. This newfound treatment has been successful in eliminating most individuals’ chronic headache pain and even those classed as migraine headaches! In fact, this little miracle is approved by the FDA specifically for treatment of migraine headaches.
However, you may be surprised to find out that what seems to be a miracle is actually a very simple tiny appliance that clips onto your upper front teeth. The appliance has been proven to relax patients’ muscles, reduce the majority of their headaches, and make their future headaches less severe. Dr. Titensor uses this appliance to help diagnose the cause of the problem. Dr. Titensor’s emphasis, however, is finding the problem and correcting it so the patient no longer has to wear these types of appliances or nightguards permanently. He may use a series of diagnostic wax ups, MRIs or CT scans also in helping evaluate a cure for the problem.
Many chronic headaches are incorrectly diagnosed as migraine or sinus headaches and, in fact, are headaches caused by muscle spasms associated with TMJ dysfunction. TMJ or TMD is a syndrome that develops when the teeth and bite are not in harmony with the jaw joint. For individuals who suffer from this condition, a daily headache is the norm, and reaching for a bottle of Tylenol or Advil has become a routine in their day. If you are suffering from headaches that have become an accepted part of your life, it might be time to investigate your options and learn if TMJ/TMD is the cause.
Treatment is safe and gentle, and if you catch TMJ/TMD in an early stage can prevent long term damage. Don’t let headaches control your life any longer. The relief can be fast, easy, and inexpensive. Call today to get relief from your headaches.
