Everyone in the office from front desk to hygienists to dentist is kind, patient, and ready to make the experience as quick yet comprehensive as possible. This is important especially for my mother who has Alzheimer’s. She always feels happy and comfortable during and after. Great service, happy to recommend!

If your temporomandibular joints (TMJs) aren’t functioning properly, you probably know it. Symptoms include jaw pain, headaches, and discomfort that affects daily activities like talking and eating. Fortunately, your dentist can solve your TMJ problem.
As this short video notes, teeth grinding and jaw clenching can put sustained pressure on your jaw that results in TMJ dysfunction. Your dentist can fit you for a bite guard that you’ll wear at night (when most grinding and clenching occur). This relieves the stress on your jaw and also protects your teeth from grinding-related damage.
You can also receive Botox injections to help relax the muscles in your jaw, for additional pain relief. If misaligned teeth are causing your TMJ troubles, you may want to consider getting orthodontic treatment with Six Month Smiles.
When you come in for a consultation, your dentist will assess your situation and identify the solutions that will work best for you.
