Dentist Greenville SC - Five Star Reviews
Five star review from Google
Palmer distinctive dentistry was the best experience I've ever had at a dentist. They treat you with respect and everyone is very courteous. Pricing is reasonable and the work I had done was quick and painless. Although the time the doctor spent explaining all the options was priceless.

Identifying TMJ Symptoms from TMJ Specialist Dentist in Greenville SC

What is TMJ/TMD?

TMJ is a shortened term for the temporomandibular joint. The temporomandibular joint is the jaw joint responsible for allowing the mouth to open and close. There are many muscles surrounding this joint, and when it begins to malfunction, guests may experience pain and discomfort. Some of the most common signs of TMD include:

  • Clicking and popping jaw joints
  • Locking of the jaw in the open or closed position
  • Pain in the jaw and surrounding muscles
  • Chronic headaches and migraines
  • Discomfort from the ears down to the neck and shoulders

What can be done for TMD?

First, guests need to receive a proper diagnosis from a specialist. A dentist with experience in this area can also assist. A physical examination may be performed as well as x-rays to check the health of the surrounding area. Once a diagnosis has been reached, guests can learn about treatment options. The most popular is that of oral appliance therapy. Oral appliance therapy utilizes specialized mouth guards that are worn to realign the jaw joint to reduce tension and discomfort.
