TMJ / TMD Treatment

When your jaw’s out of sync, it drags everything with it.

You start your day with a sore face and a tight neck. Maybe you’re grinding in your sleep. Maybe you don’t even realize it—until your jaw locks up halfway through a yawn.

TMJ issues don’t always scream. They build slowly. A little tension here. A dull ache there. It gets harder to chew, harder to talk, harder to focus. That pressure follows you from morning meetings to dinner with friends. At 123Dentist, we help ease it—not with a one-size-fits-all fix, but with care that actually fits into your life.

Tension you’ve learned to ignore is still tension.

The temporomandibular joint is small, but when it’s not working right, you feel it everywhere—your ears, your jaw, your shoulders, your sleep. It’s not “just stress.” It’s a real thing, and it deserves real attention.

We look at what’s behind the problem and offer care that respects your comfort. That could mean:
• A custom-made night guard that keeps your jaw from overworking overnight
• A small dental adjustment to help your bite sit where it’s supposed to
• Advice on how posture or habits might be playing a role
• Coordination with other professionals if physio or massage can help

It’s not about doing everything. It’s about doing the right thing for your body.

A plan that doesn’t assume. A conversation that makes sense.

When something feels off in your jaw, you want answers—but you also want to be heard. We take the time to understand what’s really going on. And we don’t just hand you a guard and hope for the best.

Here’s what we’ll do:
• Ask questions, listen, and take stock of your symptoms
• Examine your bite, jaw movement, and areas of tension
• Use scans or imaging only if needed
• Walk through options step by step—without pressure

Whether you need one adjustment or a few, we’ll pace it together. You stay in the loop the whole way.
