Relieve Jaw Pain

Temperomandibular Joint Disease (TMJ) is the new dental epidemic of the 21st century. The majority of American adults, and even many children, grind or clench their teeth.  This creates excessive wear and tear that not only affects the teeth, but many times does irreversible damage to the joints and muscles of the jaw. Many people experience side effects such as popping and soreness when chewing, lockjaw and chronic headaches.

You can now minimize, or even eliminate, these symptoms and protect yourself from further damage and pain.  Let Dr. Nemec aid you in creating a customized plan that will reduce or eliminate painful symptoms and minimize future damage to your teeth and jaw.  For some, a simple mouthpiece worn while sleeping will protect the teeth and begin to deprogram the grinding habit.  For others, combining this mouthpiece with a hypnosis treatment will provide the quickest results.  Some clients benefit from regular head, neck and jaw massage to relieve sore muscles.  And, in more severe cases, a combination of all of these treatments and repair of worn-down dental enamel will achieve the best long-term results.

Whatever the level of discomfort you are experiencing, let us help you find a comfortable solution.
