Edgewater's Top Choice for TMJ Treatment
Do you find that you're unable to open your mouth without painful clicking and popping sounds? If so, you may be affected by temporomandibular joint disease or TMJ. Dr. Sousa in Edgewater has years of experience in diagnosing and treating TMJ and would love to talk with you about your symptoms. If you're experiencing constant headaches, swelling of the face near the jaw joint or feel that your jaw is locking up, please contact John P Sousa DMD today to get back on the road to recovery.
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 John P Sousa DMD 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 Edgewater patients have discovered that relief can be obtained from simple changes in their eating and sleeping habits, although more advanced cases may require surgery. Talk to Dr. John Sousa now to learn what's right for you. Left untreated, TMJ symptoms can lead to debilitating pain and discomfort.
