One of the most significant benefits of TMJ/TMD treatment is pain relief. Chronic jaw pain, headaches, and even earaches can be significantly reduced or completely eliminated with the right treatment. This relief can greatly improve your quality of life, allowing you to enjoy activities that were previously hindered by pain.
TMJ/TMD treatment can greatly improve jaw function. If you've been experiencing difficulty in chewing, speaking, or even yawning, this treatment can help. By addressing the root cause of the problem, TMJ/TMD treatment can help restore normal jaw function, making daily activities like eating and talking more comfortable.
Without treatment, TMJ/TMD can lead to more severe health issues, such as lockjaw or long-term jaw damage. By getting TMJ/TMD treatment, you're not just addressing the current symptoms but also preventing future complications. This proactive approach can save you from potential pain and costly treatments down the line.
The first step in the TMJ/TMD treatment process is a comprehensive diagnosis. Dr. Shahi or Dr. Ni will conduct a thorough examination, which may include X-rays, to determine the extent of the disorder and the best course of treatment.
Once a diagnosis has been made, your dentist will create a personalized treatment plan. This could include a combination of medication, therapy, and in some cases, surgery. The goal is to relieve symptoms, improve jaw function, and prevent further complications.
The final step is ongoing management. This may involve follow-up appointments to monitor progress, adjustments to the treatment plan if necessary, and recommendations for at-home care to help manage symptoms.
