Night guard for TMJ pain - some clinical situations where it can help
by Rho K. Steveston Dental Care A night guard for TMJ disorders is a commonly recommended first line of treatment for certain types of pain around the TMJ area.Pain around the jaw joint area can be one of the most difficult diagnoses to make as a dentist since your teeth, TMJ, and muscles around the TMJ all act as part of a complex system. In addition, pain in this area can radiate and refer to other areas making it challenging to isolate the source of the pain.
A night guard for TMJ pain can be effective in some patients where the cause is muscle hyperactivity such as grinding at night. In this article on Stevestondentist.com I will go over the TMJ system and what can happen to it over time and some of the common symptoms patients have and what patient’s options are.
