Do you experience persistent jaw pain, headaches, or difficulty opening and closing your mouth? These symptoms might indicate a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. At My Dentist Drouin, our experienced team provides comprehensive care for TMJ issues, offering effective solutions to alleviate discomfort and restore functionality. Trust our skilled TMJ dentist for expert diagnosis and tailored TMJ dental treatment plans.

TMJ Dentist

Your temporomandibular joint is essential for basic jaw movements like chewing, speaking, and yawning. When this joint becomes inflamed or misaligned, it can lead to pain and dysfunction. Our dedicated TMJ dentist specialises in diagnosing and managing these complex conditions. Common causes of TMJ disorders include:

  • Bruxism (teeth grinding): Excessive grinding or clenching can strain the TMJ.
  • Injury: Trauma to the jaw, head, or neck can disrupt joint alignment.
  • Arthritis: Inflammation of the joint due to arthritis can affect mobility.
  • Misaligned Bite: Dental misalignment or missing teeth can place stress on the TMJ.
  • Stress: High levels of stress often lead to jaw tension and TMJ dysfunction.

Our TMJ dental specialist is equipped to identify the underlying cause and develop a personalised treatment plan for long-term relief.
