Treatment with a TMJ Dentist

TMJ, or temporomandibular joint disorder, is a condition that affects the jaw joint and the muscles controlling jaw movement. It often leads to TMJ symptoms such as jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds, headaches, and difficulty in opening and closing the mouth. We offer comprehensive TMJ treatment, including non-invasive approaches.

Myofunctional Dentist for TMJ

Myofunctional therapy is a great option for TMJ treatment that focuses on functionality and improves pain while being safe, effective, and noninvasive. By training the right muscles with targeted exercises, myofunctional therapy can improve symptoms of TMJ.

Jaw Misalignment Can Disrupt Your Everyday Bite

Ninety-five percent of all head and neck pain is generated by stressful muscular tension from jaw misalignment. This is called occlusal disease, and it contributes to the breakdown of oral and facial comfort and function. Proper jaw alignment and symmetry allow the body to naturally cope with these stresses in a more comfortable, less destructive, and healthy way.

Fantastic staff and Dr. I went in. Sat down... 3 minutes later my name was called. X-rays. Blood pressure. Casual talk about the state fair before getting into the work that is the teeth in my head. Beautiful balance between knowing knowing the job is getting done and comfort. Thought I was about to grimace and flinch once or twice, but didn't. The finale included comments from Dr. Dave about what to look out for then out the door I went. Years ago and at a different dentist's office I did NOT want to go and didn't go when I should have. My friend suggested All Care, and I've been there every 6 months since.

Dentist Dave is the best dentist i have ever had. I'm 68 years old and have had 6 dentists in my life. Not one comes to a close second to Dave's willingness to explain what is going on in my "mouth", and his expertise in his field. THANK YOU, DAVE!
