Stop Jaw Discomfort. See A Professional.
Just like when your arms or legs get sore from working out or participating in strenuous activities, so too can your jaw muscles. Overworking your jaw puts strain on your temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which is the muscle that connects your jaw to the side of your skull. This strain can cause pain and difficulty using your mouth normally. If you experience TMJ disorder (TMD), such as pain or soreness in the face, a limited ability to open your mouth, “clicking” or “popping” of the jaw joint, or frequent headaches, you may require professional attention. Our prosthodontist, Dr. Mark Wilhelm, specializes in restoring complete function to the mouth and considers your pain level, all of your symptoms, your bite and your surrounding maxillofacial tissues before creating a custom treatment plan. As a result, we offer advanced and personalized TMJ treatments to help realign your jaw and get you back to proper oral health and comfort. Find out what TMJ treatments are right for you by scheduling a consultation with Dr. Wilhelm in our Woodbury, MN office!
