TMJ Troubles? You're Not Alone!

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders can be a real pain – literally! Affecting millions of Americans, TMJ issues cause discomfort, headaches, and limitations in daily activities like chewing and speaking. But here's the good news: you don't have to suffer in silence. At Discover Dental Rocklin, we understand the impact TMJ can have on your life, and we offer effective solutions to get you back to feeling your best.

TMJ dysfunction arises when the joint connecting your jaw to your skull experiences inflammation or misalignment. Various factors, including teeth grinding, stress, and injury, can cause this. While the symptoms may seem minor at first, ignoring TMJ issues can lead to more serious consequences down the line. Chronic pain, earaches, and even a locked jaw are just some of the potential complications.

Discover Dental Rocklin is proud to provide comprehensive TMJ treatment using the latest advancements in dentistry. Our laser & botox treatment in Rocklin, CA, offers a minimally invasive and effective way to manage your TMJ symptoms and improve your quality of life.

How Can Laser & Botox Treatment Help?

Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) uses gentle beams of light to reduce inflammation and promote healing in the TMJ joint. This can significantly reduce pain and improve jaw mobility. Botox works by relaxing overactive muscles around the jaw. This can alleviate muscle tension, headaches, and teeth grinding – all common TMJ symptoms.

Laser & botox treatments offer several advantages over traditional TMJ treatments. They are minimally invasive, with minimal to no downtime. Additionally, the effects of botox injections can last for several months, providing long-lasting relief. At Discover Dental Rocklin, our team of dental professionals works with you to develop a personalized TMJ treatment plan to help you find lasting relief.

What To Expect From The Procedure

Consultation: We will first conduct a thorough examination to diagnose your TMJ condition and determine if this combined treatment is right for you. Then, we'll discuss your concerns and answer any questions you may have.

Laser Therapy: The laser procedure is comfortable and non-invasive. Our dental professionals and their team will gently apply the laser to the affected area for a predetermined time. You might feel a slight warming sensation, but there's no pain involved.

Botox Injections: A very small amount of Botox is strategically injected into specific muscles around the jaw. This process is quick and well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort.

Recovery: Both laser therapy and Botox injections involve minimal downtime. You may experience some temporary tenderness at the injection site, but this usually resolves quickly. Most patients resume their normal activities immediately following the procedure.

To alleviate TMJ disorder symptoms, self-care methods can be helpful. Patients are advised to consume soft foods, avoid excessive jaw movements, practice stress reduction and relaxation techniques, and apply ice packs or moist heat as instructed. If recommended, patients should also follow gentle stretching exercises provided by the dentist or therapist. Over-the-counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and pain medications may provide temporary relief. If these are not effective, the dentist or physician may prescribe stronger pain or anti-inflammatory medications, muscle relaxants, or anti-depressants.
