TMJ is one of the most common causes of facial pain and can cause huge amounts of pain for the patient, with little to no relief brought about by over-the-counter painkillers.

Temporomandibular joint pain, more commonly referred to as TMJ pain, causes severe and sometimes debilitating facial pain that many patients find difficult to live with. There are several ways our team at The Cathedral Close Dental Practice can help patients living with this pain, including mouth guards and botulinum toxin injections.

FAQs

What is TMJ?

Temporomandibular jaw pain, or TMJ, produces headaches, tension in the jaw, teeth grinding, and lockjaw.

The cause of this pain is often unknown or very hard to determine, but it is very closely related to bruxism, which is an involuntary, persistent grinding of the teeth that many patients suffer from. In some cases, TMJ may be the result of an accident or trauma to the face, head, or neck.

How can TMJ be treated?

The symptoms of TMJ are often unresponsive to common over-the-counter medicines such as paracetamol or ibuprofen, but TMJ can be treated successfully here at The Cathedral Close Dental Practice.
