At Tooth Doctor LA in Beverly Hills, we offer a free consultation to evaluate your symptoms and develop a personalized treatment plan to restore comfort and protect your long-term oral health.
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jawbone to your skull. When this joint is stressed, misaligned, or damaged, it can cause a range of symptoms including jaw pain, clicking or popping, difficulty chewing, earaches, and chronic headaches. TMJ disorders are more common than many patients realize and are highly treatable when caught early.
TMJ treatment is recommended for patients experiencing jaw pain, clicking or locking of the jaw, chronic headaches or migraines, worn or sensitive teeth from grinding, and facial or ear pain. If grinding has already affected your teeth, we can also address tooth sensitivity or recommend restorative treatment.
Common causes include teeth grinding (bruxism), jaw injury, arthritis, stress, and bite misalignment. Often multiple factors contribute.
Most treatments are non-invasive and comfortable. A custom night guard, for example, is simply a removable appliance worn during sleep.
It depends on the severity of the disorder. Some patients find significant relief within weeks; others benefit from longer-term management.
Yes. Chronic grinding and clenching can wear down enamel, crack teeth, and cause increased sensitivity. Early treatment helps prevent this damage.
Coverage varies. Some medical and dental plans cover TMJ-related treatment. Our team will help you understand your benefits and financing options.
