TMJ and Jaw Pain Relief

Chronic Jaw Pain? You’re Not Alone
If you’re struggling with jaw pain, clicking sounds when you eat, or frequent tension headaches, you might have a TMJ disorder. At Sayers Dental, we provide TMJ diagnostics and conservative treatment options designed to relieve your symptoms and improve your quality of life.

Understanding TMJ Disorders
Your temporomandibular joint (TMJ) plays a vital role in opening and closing your mouth. When this joint is strained or misaligned, it can lead to persistent jaw and facial pain, commonly referred to as TMD (Temporomandibular Joint Disorder).

What Causes TMJ Dysfunction?

  • Bruxism (teeth grinding or clenching)
  • Misaligned teeth or bite issues
  • Arthritis or inflammation in the joint
  • Jaw injuries
  • Stress-induced muscle tension

Typical Symptoms of TMJ Disorders:

  • Jaw pain or tightness
  • Clicking or popping during movement
  • Limited mouth opening
  • Muscle fatigue in the cheeks or temples
  • Chronic headaches or migraines

Treatment Options at Sayers Dental Include:

  • Custom-fitted night guards for teeth grinding
  • Bite correction through orthodontics or reshaping
  • Jaw relaxation techniques and stress management
  • Muscle therapy and pain relief strategies
  • Referral for specialist imaging or physiotherapy if needed

Let’s Find the Source of Your Discomfort
We approach TMJ disorders holistically—addressing the underlying cause, not just the symptoms. If jaw pain is interfering with your life, it’s time to talk to our team at Sayers Dental.
