TMJ disorder

TMJ disorder (or Temporo-Mandibular Joint dysfunction) is where the joint that allows the jaw to open and close is misaligned or overworked.

Problems with the function of this joint are common, with symptoms including joint pain, clicking or popping of the jaw, limited opening, earaches and headaches.

It can be caused by:

  • Unbalanced bite
  • Unbalanced dental work
  • Increased muscle activity
  • Increased sensitivity to pain
  • Wear and tear to the inside of the joint
  • Certain types of arthritis
  • Injury

Recommended treatment for TMJ disorder is dependent on individual circumstances, considering the severity of the problem and the cause. Common treatments include:

  • Rest
  • Exercises
  • Physical Therapy
  • Pain Killers
  • Habit control - with the use of night time splits
  • Use of a bite splint to help the jaw muscles relax
  • Manual adjustment of the bite by grinding the teeth - occlusal adjustment
  • Reconstructive dentistry
  • Orthodontics

Your Blossomfield Dental Care dentist will examine the physical functionality of the joint, as well as the internal health of the soft tissue within the mouth. X-rays and scans may also be used in order to obtain a full overview of functionality and determine the best course of treatment for your individual case.

If you are suffering from joint pain or have any concerns with your jaw function, give us a call on 0121 711 6939 to book a consultation today.

A last minute appointment because of a very sharp edge to a molar. Vik was willing to see me but he required a Covid test first because l had a cough. I was happy to do this but the first receptionist forgot and it was the end of her shift. However the reception with the long hair gave me the test and l was then able to see Vik. I have already recommended Dr and Mrs Hutchinson to your practice.

AS always the reception staff are professional, kind and helpful. The practice extremely clean and well maintained. My dentist Marek is as always professional, knowledgeable and his advice is valuable and I feel at ease and confident. The hygienist as always professional, friendly and helpful.My time at the dental practice is a very good experience. I have two points of interest, the new way of conducting the clean with the hygiene appointments with the water for me was different and less painful as I have sensitive teeth, I was kept informed as to what it was, why being conducted and the swapping of the older system to this new regime. I do find my gums have receded a lot more after this first initial appointment, some of my teeth now are highly sensitive and very stripped, with my veneers now having gum recession and showing the 'black' dead tooth outline, areas where I had filled resin added for aesthetics is now very pitted in some places, the stripped (porous effect) was explained would happen and to a avoid beverages like tea and coffee for a few hours. Also parking is a problem. But still does not detract from being and excellent practice. Thank you.

This denist is the BEST DENIST I've ever had. Vik is incredible. Professional, compassionate and gentle. The hygienist is amazing too, like having a mouth spa! I had a tooth extraction today, with local anesthetic and I was very nervous, Lucy the assistant put me at ease and it was done is ease, by Vik. The reception staff are friendly and welcoming. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. THANKS SO MUCH!! Sabbi
