If you struggle with head, jaw or neck pain, you may be suffering from a TMJ disorder. Dr. Ward Whitaker can evaluate your symptoms and develop a treatment plan to help you find relief. Call Custom Dental Care & Med-Spa today at 813-876-6930 to schedule an appointment with our dentist and learn more about TMJ treatment.

The temporomandibular joint, or TMJ, is the joint that connects the lower jaw to the rest of the head so you can perform daily actions such as speaking, eating and yawning. When this joint is stressed, injured or misaligned, it can cause significant discomfort and impact your quality of life. TMJ disorders, also known as TMD, may occur as a result of stress, bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching), arthritis or trauma and injury to the head, neck or jaw. When you visit our office, our dentist will carefully examine your jaws and mouth to determine the cause of your TMJ disorder and create a treatment plan.

Common signs of TMJ disorders include:

Grinding, clicking or popping sounds when you move your jaw
An inability to open your mouth wide
A locked or stuck jaw
Pain when chewing and biting
Pain in the neck, shoulders and ears
Frequent headaches

Your treatment will depend on the severity of your TMJ disorder. Treatments which our dentist may recommend include jaw and facial relaxation exercises, lifestyle changes, restorative dental treatments, night guards and jaw surgery. We may combine several different treatments to provide you with better long-term results.
