Treating TMJ Clicking and Pain

After a thorough exam and diagnosis from a professional at Miramichi Smiles, you are ready to start your individualized treatment plan that is most likely to work for you to remove TMJ clicking and pain from your life. Your dentist will do a thorough examination of the jaw, review your history and take X-rays before creating a treatment plan.

Depending on your condition and the severity of it, your dentist may opt for several different treatment options:

  • Special bite guard that is molded to the teeth for use at night to prevent grinding

  • Relaxation techniques that lower the effects of everyday stressors that can’t be removed from your life

  • Muscle relaxants to help the body and jawbone relax at night

  • Realignment of the teeth that not only removes TMJ clicking and pain, but may improve the overall look of your smile

As with any other dental procedure or treatment, the final course of action depends on your history and the severity of your condition. We encourage every patient to schedule an appointment for a complete exam before deciding on any treatment options.
