Find Relief for Jaw Discomfort in Tsawwassen
Do you experience jaw pain, clicking, or tension when chewing or speaking? You may be dealing with TMJ disorder—a condition affecting the temporomandibular joint. At Tsawwassen Place Dental, we’re here to help identify the signs, explain the causes, and offer personalized care to ease your discomfort. 

What Is TMJ Disorder?
The temporomandibular joints connect your jaw to your skull. When these joints are misaligned or stressed, they can cause pain, limited movement, or headaches. Common symptoms include: 

  • Jaw stiffness or locking
  • Clicking or popping when opening your mouth
  • Headaches or earaches
  • Facial pain or tension 

Causes and Risk Factors
TMJ issues can stem from many sources: 

  • Teeth grinding (bruxism)
  • Jaw injury
  • Arthritis
  • Misaligned bite
  • Chronic stress 

Our Tsawwassen dentist team will evaluate your bite and symptoms to determine the underlying cause. 

TMJ Treatment Options
We offer several conservative, non-surgical treatment options: 

  • Custom nightguards to prevent grinding 
  • Bite adjustments or orthodontics
  • Lifestyle and stress management tips
  • Referral for physical therapy when needed

Relieving TMJ pain starts with a thorough diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan.
