Are you suffering from painful headaches, jaw pain or teeth
grinding? These could be signs of a temporomandibular joint disorder, or TMD.
There’s no need to be concerned, because at Dr. Susan Levine’s office we can
address these concerns with TMD therapy.
The temporomandibular joint connects your jaw bone to the
rest of your skull. If this joint becomes inflamed, it can impact your ability
to move your jaw effectively and without discomfort. We offer TMD therapy to help alleviate the
discomfort and restore function to your jaw once again.
We will tailor your treatment to match your needs. Different
factors such as the amount and duration of your discomfort and their causes
will be taken into consideration. The most important part of TMD therapy is to ensure that your jaw
rests.
Dr. Levine will
analyze your smile and make sure you’re properly diagnosed. Then, she’ll come
up with a solution for you. You may need to have your bite adjusted, practice
stress reduction techniques, use warm compresses, or even perform special
muscle stretching exercises.
If you’re suffering from a TMD, give our office a call today. We can help alleviate discomfort
and restore normal function to your smile through TMD therapy. Dr. Susan
Levine provides quality cosmetic and general dentistry to patients in the Fairfield, CT area. We want you to
smile proudly once again because dentistry is our passion. Call us to schedule
your appointment today.
