Find Relief From Jaw Pain With TMJ Treatment in Beverly, MA
TMJ treatment in Beverly is a non-invasive way to address the source of your jaw discomfort. Your temporomandibular joints (TMJs) are two of the most frequently used joints in your body. They control every bite, word, and yawn. If you have persistent jaw pain, hear clicking sounds, or have difficulty opening and closing your mouth, you may have a TMJ disorder. A custom-fitted mouthguard can reduce pressure on the joints and restore comfortable jaw movement. It can also protect your teeth from the grinding that often accompanies TMJ disorders.

Find Out What's Behind Your TMJ Pain
TMJ pain rarely appears out of nowhere. There is almost always an underlying cause. Identifying it is key to finding lasting relief. Your dentist will check for signs of grinding and jaw stress at every routine exam.
Teeth grinding is a common contributing factor. It puts sustained pressure on the joints and fatigues the surrounding muscles over time. Arthritis affects the joints and can lead to inflammation, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
A jaw injury, even one that occurred years ago, can shift the joint's alignment and create ongoing discomfort. Knowing what is driving your symptoms allows your dentist to recommend the most targeted treatment.
