The primary benefit of TMJ treatment is the relief from chronic pain. This pain can be debilitating, often spreading to the neck and shoulders, and can disrupt your daily life. TMJ treatment targets the source of this discomfort, providing long-term relief and allowing you to return to your regular activities without pain.
TMJ disorder can make it difficult to open and close your mouth, impacting your ability to eat, speak, and even yawn comfortably. TMJ treatment helps to restore normal jaw function, making these everyday tasks easier and more comfortable. You'll be able to enjoy your favorite foods again and communicate without discomfort.
Untreated TMJ can lead to a range of dental problems, including tooth damage and gum disease, as it often causes sufferers to grind their teeth. By treating your TMJ, you're not just addressing your current symptoms, but you're also helping to prevent further oral health issues down the line.
The first step in the TMJ treatment process is a thorough diagnosis. Dr. Newman will conduct a comprehensive examination, which may include X-rays, to determine the severity of your TMJ and the best course of treatment. This examination will also involve discussing your medical history, symptoms, and any factors that may be contributing to your TMJ disorder. Dr. Newman may also perform specific tests to evaluate your jaw's range of motion and identify any pain points or abnormalities.
Based on the results of your examination, Dr. Newman will develop a personalized treatment plan. This could involve a range of approaches, from lifestyle changes to physical therapy to oral appliances designed to alleviate your symptoms. The treatment plan will be tailored to address your specific needs and may include a combination of therapies for optimal results. Dr. Newman will discuss the proposed treatment options with you, explaining the benefits and potential outcomes of each approach.
Once your treatment plan is in place, Dr. Newman and his team will provide ongoing care and monitoring. This could include regular check-ups to assess your progress and adjustments to your treatment as needed. During these follow-up appointments, you'll have the opportunity to discuss any changes in your symptoms or concerns you may have. Dr. Newman may also provide additional recommendations for self-care techniques or lifestyle modifications to support your treatment and prevent future TMJ issues.
