TMJ/TMD

Serving Dallas, University Park, Plano, Fort Worth, and Surrounding Areas

A trained cosmetic dentist can do much more than beautify your smile. A trained neuromuscular dentist - such as Dr. Strader - also has the knowledge and experience to treat your jaw and jaw-alignment problems.

When your jaw is misaligned, symptoms will manifest themselves in a variety of ways. You may have headaches, jaw aches, tooth pain, problems talking and chewing, pain in your arms and legs, and even blurred vision.

Problems with your jaw alignment often center on a syndrome called temporomandibular Joint Disorder, or TMJ. TMJ is one of the largest health problems in the world, yet not only have most people not even heard of it, many doctors are unsure how to properly diagnose it.

That is where cosmetic dentists such as Dr. Strader have stepped in. Neuromuscular and cosmetic dentists use CAT scans, X-rays and K-7 scans to examine your jaw and bite pattern, and properly diagnose - and then treat - TMJ.

If you have any pain in your jaw, either while resting, eating, or upon awakening, please contact us today. Most of the symptoms of TMJ come and go over time, and change in severity. Only a qualified cosmetic dentist can properly treat and diagnose TMJ. Don't let headaches control your life - contact us today!
