TMJ Disorders in Cedar City
Here at Corry Dental, we are known for having the top Cedar City TMJ dentist here on our staff. If you suffer from frequent jaw pain and discomfort, often hear a popping sound when you open your mouth wide, or have pain/swelling in areas around the jaw, you may have a condition known as a TMJ disorder. TMJ stands for the temporomandibular joint, which is the joint responsible for you opening and closing your mouth – the joint that allows you to speak, sing, yawn, chew, and so on. TMJ disorders often occur from stress. However, it can sometimes be difficult to pinpoint the cause of a TMJ disorder. When we can nail down a cause it can be easier to treat. A common treatment that our Cedar City TMJ dentist finds is often helpful no matter what the cause is wearing a customized oral appliance each night. This appliance keeps you comfortable throughout the night, but mainly works to prevent you from grinding your teeth, which is what can irritate your jaw and leave you feeling the lingering pain the next day. There is no need to suffer through the discomfort of a TMJ disorder all day long. Instead, let our Cedar City TMJ dentist provide you with the individualized care and treatments you need to relieve your symptoms and bring your quality of life back up where it belongs.
