TMJ Disorder Treatment at Tishaan Dental Clinic

At Tishaan family dental clinic Dubai, we completely understand that debilitating Temporomandibular Joint, aka TMJ disorders, can be devastating and depressing. It is a critical point that is solely responsible for connecting your jawbone to the skull, through which humans are allowed to chew, speak, or move their jaws.

When this joint becomes dysfunctional for any reason, the patient faces multiple issues like pain and difficulty in doing daily life chores.

At Tishaan Dental Clinic in al rigga, we rely upon a holistic approach towards the TMJ disorders. It discusses addressing the root cause of your discomfort. Our team of dedicated professionals has extensive experience in the diagnosing and management of TMJ disorders.

Here is a glimpse of our approach toward TMJ disorders

1. Comprehensive diagnosis

The first step in the treatment of TMJ disorder is the thorough examination and diagnosis. During our initial consultation, our experienced dentist will assess your jaw functions, have a detailed overview of your medical history. They might also recommend undergoing imaging procedures such as x-rays or MRI-scan to better understand the condition of your jaw and surrounding area.

2. Non surgical treatment

Usually, TMJ disorders can be treated through non-surgical methods. Some of the options used at Tishaan Dental Clinic include:

1. Custom Mouthguards: For all those patients who suffer from Bruxism or teeth grinding, the custom-made night guard can help for the teeth protection and reduce strains on the jaw joint.
2. Medication therapy: Over-the-counter pain relievers or anti-inflammatory drugs can be recommended to reduce pain and inflammation. In addition the doctor might also prescribe muscle relaxants to alleviate jaw tension.
3. Life-style modification: Our experts might also advise some simple yet healthy life-style changes such as eating softer foods and avoiding excessive jaw movement to ease your jaw tension.

3. Physical therapy

Physical therapy is proven to be highly effective in the treatment of TMJ disorders. At our dental clinic in Al Rigga Deira we collaborate with a specialized physical therapist to guide you through exercises designed to strengthen the jaw muscles. It also improves joint mobility and reduces stiffness.

4. Bite correction

TMJ disorders can be caused by Malocclusion (Improper biting). If it has happened, we may recommend orthodontic treatments or dental restoration to improve alignment and relieve pressure on the jaw joint.

5. Surgical treatment

Although most of the TMJ disorders can be managed with non-surgical methods, in severe cases, surgical intervention might be recommended. It included procedures like arthroscopy or open joint surgeries- performed by the specialist to replace damaged and malfunctioned tissue. Rest assured that sugars are always considered a last resort.
