TMJ Treatment in Aurora
Do you hear clicking sounds in your jaw whenever you chew? If so, you may be suffering from Temporomandibular Joint Disorder - TMJ for short. Not only is it annoying, left untreated, it can be very painful. In simplest terms, TMJ symptoms can be described as chronic inflammation of the Temporomandibular joint. This joint connects the lower jaw to the skull. Dr. Miles Collett in Aurora has diagnosed and treated many such cases. If you suffer from any pain or discomfort in your jaw, your next call should be to Miles B. Collett, DDS.
But what causes TMJ disorder? Some contributing factors may include injuries to the jaw area, certain forms of arthritis, low-level infections and certain dental procedures. Untreated dental problems (crooked teeth, gum disease) can also lead to TMJ symptoms. At Miles B. Collett, DDS we're committed to listening to you and working with you to develop a plan to treat your jaw discomfort.
The treatment plan that's right for you may include restoration of certain teeth that may be contributing to the problem, attention to proper gum maintenance, pain relief, and a concerted effort to identify the underlying causes of your TMJ sumptoms. Many of our Aurora patients have discovered that relief can be obtained from simple changes in their eating and sleeping habits, although more advanced cases may require surgery.
