That unsettling "click" in your jaw might seem like a small annoyance, but it could be the early sign of a bigger issue: temporomandibular joint disorder, or TMJ. At Perennial Dental, Dr. William Newman and his team approach TMJ treatment with the same care, precision, and compassion that defines their legacy.
From persistent jaw pain and tension headaches to difficulty chewing or speaking, TMJ can deeply affect your daily life. The good news is that relief is within reach with today’s advanced, personalized treatment methods.
The temporomandibular joints connect your jawbone to your skull and are responsible for essential movements like speaking, chewing, and yawning. When dysfunction occurs in these joints, the results can be painful and disruptive.
However, this condition is often underdiagnosed. In fact, many patients go months or years without knowing TMJ was the root cause of their discomfort. Common TMJ-related symptoms include:
Ignoring these signs can lead to worsening symptoms and long-term damage to the joint. At Perennial Dental, Dr. Newman identifies the source of pain with a gentle, thorough examination backed by modern diagnostic tools, all within a calming, nature-inspired setting designed for your comfort.
TMJ issues can develop from a variety of underlying causes, many of which are rooted in lifestyle habits or physical conditions that patients may not readily connect to jaw pain. Dr. Newman’s compassionate, personalized care helps uncover these hidden triggers so that treatment is effective and lasting. The most common causes of TMJ dysfunction include:
