TMJ (TMD) Therapy in Red Deer

At Southpointe Dental, our Red Deer dentists provide TMJ (TMD) therapy for patients who are experiencing symptoms of TMD.

Temporomandibular Joint pain (TMJ) or Temporomandibular Dysfunction (TMD) occurs when the TMJ joint that connects the skull to the jawbone becomes impaired in some way.

This can cause a variety of symptoms including:

• Pain in the jaw, face, neck or shoulder
• Ear problems, such as hearing loss or ringing
• Teeth grinding or clenching
• Popping or grating sounds in the joint area
• Daytime fatigue
• Headaches or migraines

To ensure that you receive the appropriate treatment, it’s important to get a proper diagnosis. Only by finding the root cause of the problem can we start to treat it. Our dental team will perform a comprehensive examination and create a customized treatment according to your needs.
