Suffering from TMJ Symptoms? Find Relief in Portland
Do you have headaches? Neck pain? Frequent tenderness in your jaw or popping and click when you open or close your mouth? If those symptoms sound familiar, you should consult with Portland TMJ dentist Dr. Edward Ward. "TMJ" describes a variety of conditions that affect the temporomandibular joint (the point where the jaw opens and closes) and nerves, which can result in chronic facial pain.
Dr. Ward will develop a treatment plan that's right for you. It may include restoration of certain teeth that may be contributing to the problem, attention to proper gum maintenance, pain relief, and a concerted effort to identify the underlying causes of your TMJ symptoms. Many of our Portland patients have discovered that relief can sometimes be obtained from simple changes in their eating and sleeping habits. Left untreated, TMJ symptoms can lead to debilitating pain and discomfort.
Why wait another moment to meet a trusted Portland TMJ dentist? Call Interstate Dental Clinic at (503) 285-5307 or complete our simple online form to schedule a consultation with Dr. Edward Ward. We're dedicated to providing you with affordable, top-quality dental care.
