Effective TMJ Treatment in Ottawa

Whether you're experiencing dull, constant jaw pain or chronic headaches that only occur in the morning, temporomandibular joint disorders may be at the root of your problem. Temporomandibular joint disorders, often called TMD or TMJ, refer to various conditions that affect your jaw joints, muscles, and ligaments. At Rideau River Dental we're proud to provide comprehensive TMJ treatment to Ottawa and its nearby areas to help relieve your pain and improve your overall quality of life.

We understand that your smile plays an integral role in your overall health. That's why our dental practice doesn't treat TMD with medications, preferring non-surgical options like oral appliances. Dr. Charles Nour and his team look forward to helping you take the first step toward healthier jaws. Contact us today to schedule your appointment and get the TMJ treatment you deserve!

Do I need TMJ Treatment?

Do you feel pain when trying to open your mouth, or does it hurt to move your mouth from side to side? You could be suffering from the common problem of Tempromandibular Joint pain or Tempromandibular Dysfunction. Other symptoms include:

Pain in the neck and/or shoulder
Ringing in the ears
Hearing loss or ear pain
Grinding your teeth or clenching your jaw while sleeping
Constantly feeling fatigued
Hearing a popping or grating sound, or any other noise in your jaw joints
Suffering from chronic headaches in your temples or above your eyes

Because there can often be multiple causes for TMJ symptoms, there’s not a “set” way of treating these conditions. That said, the first step in any successful treatment is the proper diagnosis. Rideau River Dental can perform an evaluation of your symptoms and concerns and suggest a customized treatment therapy for your condition—and in many cases, we can work with you to identify other treatment partners—such as physiotherapists, chiropractors, cranio/mandibular specialists or even massage therapists—who will all work together to bring you relief.
