Causes & Symptoms of TMJ disorder

TMJ disorder can cause a variety of painful symptoms, which can worsen during stressful times. Common symptoms include:

• Ringing in the ears
• Teeth grinding or clenching (usually during sleep)

TMJ Treatment in Mississauga: Your Options

At Creditview Dental, we can test for, diagnose and provide a treatment plan for TMJ disorder.

Treatment may include relaxation techniques and wearing a mouthguard for sleep. 

Your dentist may also suggest a TENS machine, an electrical stimulation device that encourages the face and jaw muscles to relax.

Untreated, TMJ issues can eventually lead to eroded jawbones and loose teeth. If you are experiencing any symptoms, visit your dentist for a proper diagnosis.
