"We are here to Help!"
Treating jaw pain and TMJ over the years has been very rewarding. Seeing patients find relief from pain is one of the reasons I love what I do
"TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorders) are a family of problems related to your complex jaw joint and may involve a number of structures such as muscles, teeth, nerves, cartilage, and blood vessels. Symptoms can be quite varied and include jaw pain, ear pain, clicking sounds, limited jaw movement and many more. You’ll be glad to know that these problems are more easily diagnosed and treated than they were in the past. They occur when the joints of the jaw and mastication muscles do not work together correctly. Resolving this issue usually consists of more than one treatment. This malady takes years to develop and the treatment may take time to become effective. I am confident that here at Salin Dentistry, we can provide you the relief when you are seeking help to rectify TMD."
