Effective Treatment for TMJ in Carlisle, PA

Recognize TMJ symptoms for appropriate treatment.



Treatment Options for TMJ in Carlisle, PA

If you have a misaligned bite or uneven teeth, or have recently undergone a tooth restoration procedure, you may be experiencing some common TMJ symptoms. Discomfort or pain when opening the jaw, neck pain, and frequent headaches are just a few common symptoms that need to be addressed.

Both Dr. Robert Serafin and Dr. Tamara Shore are here to help patients get relief from TMJ symptoms and enjoy a higher quality of life. We will create a customized treatment plan to restore proper functioning of the jaw and stop any teeth grinding habits.

Overview of TMJ Symptoms

Symptoms can vary by patients but many patients experience some degree of pain or discomfort because of jaw joint issues. TMJ symptoms may include:

  • Locked jaw
  • Frequent earaches or headaches
  • Migraines
  • Clicking when opening or closing the mouth
  • Teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism)

What Is TMJ?

If the jaw joint is causing pain because of a bite misalignment, teeth grinding habits, or any type of injury to the jaw joint, you may be diagnosed with TMJ. Some people can get better by doing some simple stretching exercises or making lifestyle changes, but others may need more aggressive treatment from a dentist. An occlusal adjustment (bite adjustment) or wearing a night guard can help. While we cannot trace TMJ to a single cause, we know that the following can exacerbate the issue:

Teeth Grinding
Arthritis
Trauma to the Head, Neck or Face
Hormonal Shifts
