TMJ/TMD Treatment in Coquitlam, BC

Temporomandibular disorders (TMD or TMJ) encompass a range of issues leading to jaw and muscle pain, from mild discomfort to severe impairment. Symptoms may include jaw or facial pain, stiffness, limited movement, and clicking or popping sounds in the jaw joint. While severe cases may require surgical intervention, mild symptoms can often be managed through nonsurgical TMJ treatment approaches. To determine the best course of action, schedule an appointment with Oxford Family Dental in Port Coquitlam for a thorough assessment of your symptoms and dental history.

Nonsurgical TMD treatment options such as stabilization or splint therapy, involving the use of a custom-fitted plastic guard to prevent teeth clenching and grinding, physical therapy to relax jaw muscles, and drug therapy with anti-inflammatory medications, can offer effective TMJ pain treatment. If surgery is necessary, your Port Coquitlam dentist will discuss all available TMJ treatment options with you, guiding you towards the most suitable treatment plan tailored to your needs and preferences.

Working together, you and your dentist will devise the most effective TMJ/TMD treatment approach for managing your jaw disorder and providing long-term relief from pain and discomfort.
