TMJ and Jaw Pain Relief in Nyack, NY
Laser therapy and custom night guards for jaw pain, clicking and the grinding that wears teeth down.
Two things that usually help, used together
Jaw pain is generally managed rather than cured, and the honest aim is fewer bad days. At our office, that means laser therapy for the muscle and joint, and a custom night guard to stop the grinding from doing more damage.
How much does TMJ treatment cost in Nyack, NY?
TMJ treatment is quoted at the free consultation once Dr. Bodie has worked out what is driving the pain, since a custom night guard and a course of laser therapy are different pieces of treatment. Some dental plans contribute toward night guards, and we check the specific plan rather than guessing.
What causes jaw pain and TMJ problems?
Most jaw pain traces back to clenching and grinding, often at night and often without the patient knowing they do it. The muscles stay switched on for hours, and the result shows up as morning headaches, tenderness at the joint, clicking, or teeth that are visibly wearing flat.
Can a dentist treat jaw pain?
Yes, and a dentist is usually the right person to look at it, because the joint, the muscles and the bite all sit in the same place. At our Nyack dental office treatment ranges from a custom night guard that stops the damage to laser therapy that settles the muscle itself.
