TMJ Treatment in Denver, CO
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jaw to your skull and allows for smooth movements when talking, chewing, and yawning. Disorders of this joint and the surrounding muscles, known collectively as temporomandibular disorders (TMD), can lead to chronic pain, limited jaw mobility, and a range of uncomfortable symptoms. TMD affects millions of people and can significantly impact quality of life if left untreated.
At Washington Park Family Dental, Dr. Kyger provides comprehensive evaluation and customized care for patients suffering from TMJ-related symptoms. We take the time to understand your concerns, diagnose the cause, and recommend a treatment plan to help relieve discomfort and improve jaw function.
Symptoms of TMJ Disorders
Common signs of TMD include:
- Jaw pain or tenderness
- Clicking, popping, or grating sounds when moving the jaw
- Difficulty opening or closing the mouth fully
- Facial or ear pain
- Headaches or neck stiffness
- Locking of the jaw joint
The causes of TMD can vary and may include teeth grinding (bruxism), jaw misalignment, arthritis, or stress-related clenching.
