Do you experience occasional or frequent headaches that begin near your ears and travel across your forehead or down into your neck? Do you wake from sleep with a sore, aching jaw?
If these symptoms sound familiar, you may be suffering from temporomandibular joint disorder, also known as TMJ to St. Augustine, Florida, dental patients. Producing problems with varying degrees of severity, TMJ disorders are conditions where the joints that connect your jawbone become inflamed and misaligned. Other symptoms include ear pain, muscle spasms, and popping or clicking noises when you chew.
In addition to Dr. Freeman’s coursework in cosmetic dentistry, his specialized training in bite alignment diagnosis helps to make him especially adept at resolving disorders of the TMJ in St. Augustine, Florida. We can help you find immediate relief with the use of custom-created orthotic appliances or a TENS unit, which instantly relaxes the muscles of the jaw, neck, and face.
