If you suffer from severe headaches or facial pain, or if you hear popping and clicking when you open your jaws, you may have TMJ dysfunction. The best solution is to schedule an appointment with Dr. Palioca right away.
TMJ (temporomandibular joint) dysfunction occurs when the little joints in front of your ears become inflamed. Sometimes this can be from a crooked bite or from teeth grinding and clenching, called bruxism. Once the joints become inflamed, so do the nerves, and the pain radiates through the jaw, neck, face, and shoulders. Dr. Palioca creates custom oral splints for non-surgical correction of TMJ alignment. Some patients find relief after just one night of wearing the splint. Our patient library offers more information on TMJ dysfunction and treatment.
You deserve relief, so schedule a TMJ consultation today. Our office in Wrentham treats patients from throughout the area, including Foxborough, Attleboro, and Franklin.
