How can a dentist alleviate my TMJ/TMD symptoms?

If you are experiencing jaw pain or hear a "clicking" sound when you open and close your mouth, you may have a TMJ disorder. If your dentist determines that you have a TMJ disorder, they can recommend many treatment options. Some of the most common treatment options for TMJ disorders include dental appliances, such as a mouth guard or night guard, or physical therapy to manage symptoms and relax your jaw muscles.
