Temple City's Choice for TMJ Treatment
If you are constantly bothered by a sore jaw, you may be suffering from TMJ disorder. TMJ symptoms can include a clicking jaw, a popping sound when you chew or speak, and a sore jaw when you first wake. Dr. Johnston Chu in Temple City can help you get started on a short-term and long-term plan to alleviate much of the pain and discomfort you're experiencing.
Symptoms of TMJ can also include sore jaw muscles, sensitive nerves, weak tendons, deteriorating bones and poor dental health. Several factors can lead to TMJ, including speech habits resulting in jaw thrusting, excessive gum chewing, excessive jaw movements related to exercise, nail biting, oversize food and repetitive, unconscious jaw movement. Dr. Johnston Chu in Temple City is eager to talk with you about your symptoms and help develop a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.
Treatment of TMJ symptoms often involves three stages, restoration of tooth surfaces that may be contributing to the problem, short-term pain relief and long-term evaluation of your jaw habits to identifying the underlying causes of your TMJ symptoms. At Johnston C. Chu, DDS we've found that many symptoms can be relieved with a change in eating or stepping habits.
