If you have ever experienced chronic pain in your jaw or had difficulty opening and closing your mouth for an extended period of time, you know how much of an impact it can have on your daily life. From avoiding your favorite foods to tossing and turning at night while you try to sleep, issues with your jaw can radiate into other areas of your body and negatively impact your routine. At Koala® Center For Sleep & TMJ Disorders, our TMJ doctors and exceptional dental staff have helped many patients achieve relief from the issues that result from temporomandibular joint disorder, also known as TMD.

The temporomandibular joint is not often thought of by most people. When it works correctly, we hardly notice it. This ball and socket joint is responsible for the opening and closing of your mouth every time you speak or eat food, but we rarely consider it. That is, until it stops working properly. Dysfunction in the TMJ can have broad implications throughout the body. Not only can it make talking or chewing tough foods painful, it can cause difficulty swallowing, congestion in the ears, tooth sensitivity, and even neck pain, posture issues, and tingling in your fingertips. It is difficult to understand how such a small part of the body can have such a big impact on it.

For some people, TMD may resolve on its own as the jaw muscles eventually relax. However, most people will notice that their symptoms only increase in severity as time goes on. When you have chronic pain in your jaw that does not dissipate quickly, it is Top to see an experienced doctor who can provide you with the answers you need to understand your condition. At Koala® Center For Sleep & TMJ Disorders, we have helped numerous patients find relief from TMD all across the country. With more than a dozen locations across the US, we are proud to help people achieve better sleep and absolve TMJ pain. If you live in Kansas City, MO and have had problems with your jaw, our convenient location at 2008 Swift Avenue can help.

When you are seeking treatment for TMD, it is important to find a doctor with experience treating it. Unfortunately, it is all too common for doctors without this experience to simply write a prescription for pain medication in response to patients’ concerns about their facial pain. While this may provide temporary relief, it does not address the underlying causes of the pain, it is unlikely that a patient’s TMD will be resolved with pharmaceutical intervention alone. When TMD is left untreated for a long period of time, it can worsen and if it becomes too severe, surgery may eventually be the only available option for treatment. Rather than take the chance, trust the experienced dental staff and TMJ doctors at Koala® Center For Sleep & TMJ Disorders to create a custom dental appliance that can help treat your TMD, relieve your pain, and heal your temporomandibular joint.
