What Are TMJ & TMD Treatments?

TMJ or TMD stands for Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction / Disorder. TMJ issues are present in 20 to 30 percent of the adult population, mostly between the ages of 20 and 40.

Women tend to have TMJ issues more than men, and tension headaches are a common symptom of TMJ related problems. If your tension headache is caused by TMJ, it’s usually due to stress from the misalignment of the jaw joint, and jaw and surrounding muscles experiencing stress due to the misalignment. A TMD / TMJ Treatment option from Great Boca Smiles in Boca Raton, FL may be right for you.

Common Issues for TMD & TMJ Treatment:

  • Jaw pain
  • Muscle tenderness
  • Facial swelling
  • Grinding, popping, or clicking sounds
  • Jaw locking in position
  • Frequent headaches or migraines
  • Difficulty biting or chewing

 

At Great Boca Smiles in Boca Raton, FL our dentists will perform a series of tests to diagnose the cause of your headaches or other symptoms suspected of being related to TMJ. You’ll receive a personalized TMD / TMJ treatment plan to remedy your specific condition.

Dr Markowitz has been my dentist for over 14 years. He is professional, knowledgeable and very exact and detailed. His work is impeccable. His office is well managed. Organized, extremely clean and well maintained with the latest equipment. From the office manager Alex who is calm and precise to the Hygenist Holly whom is one of the best Hygenists I have ever been too. Now with the addition of Dr Cela you totally feel you are in good hands.

Dr. Markowitz and his staff genuinely care about their patients, their teeth and their experience in the dentist’s chair. I came in for a complex procedure that I was a little nervous about. Dr. Markowitz made it seem simple and easy. He was very focused, precise and careful to make sure I was comfortable and that the procedure was a success. His staff is friendly and caring and all have a nice rapport which makes the office environment a happy, positive one. I feel completely confident in Dr. Markowitz and know that the dental work I receive is of the best quality. I highly recommend Great Boca Smiles and Dr. Markowitz.
