TMJ Treatment Grand Rapids, MI

Repeated muscle problems can result in tissue damage and muscle tenderness, perpetuating a cycle of pain.  There are a number of factors that can lead to the disorder including stress, injury, arthritis and teeth grinding, to name a few.  Women are also more likely to be affected by TMJ than men.

Symptoms of TMJ include jaw pain while chewing or yawning, soreness in front of the ear, a clicking noise when opening and closing the jaw, a stiff jaw when eating or speaking, trouble opening the mouth wide-locking of the jaw, etc.

Leading dentist Dr. Urszula Firlik has advanced training and experience in TMJ Therapy.  She offers a number of treatment options to reduce or eliminate discomfort and pain.  Dr. Firlik will first, perform a thorough dental examination, followed by a health history check, and x-rays.   Based on her findings, she will then develop a suitable course of treatment that will best benefit your condition.  Some of these treatments include reshaping teeth, wearing bite guards, and taking muscle relaxants.
