TMJ Treatment Near You
If jaw pain, headaches, earaches, and tooth pain are keeping you up at night or interfering with your day, there is a chance that you are suffering from TMD.
TMD (temporomandibular joint disorder) refers to a range of disorders that affect the TMJ (temporomandibular joint). This is the joint that allows you to open and close your mouth. TMD can cause a variety of issues for patients, including difficulty chewing and severe or chronic pain. Contact our office if you’re looking to receive TMJ treatment near you.

TMD can present in numerous ways, which is why we encourage you to speak directly with your dental team at Vista Place Dental Centre if you have any of the following symptoms:

- Headaches
- Clicking or popping of the jaw when you open or close your mouth
- Locking of the jaw
