Importance Of Treating TMJ
We are passionate about providing the care our patients need to overcome the discomfort of living with TMJ disorder. Unfortunately, TMJ disorder has many symptoms that mimic other medical conditions, often leaving patients without a proper diagnosis. For example, you may be experiencing headaches and facial discomfort. The pressure may seem like a sinus infection, but after receiving treatment, your symptoms do not improve at all. It is very likely that you are experiencing symptoms related to TMJ, but you are not seeing a medical professional who is skilled in treating this common condition. It can be disheartening to live with daily discomfort and not have any answers. Oftentimes, when patients reach out to our team, they are frustrated with their symptoms, the lack of answers, and the treatment recommendations for the problems they are experiencing.
Untreated TMJ can negatively impact your quality of life. Patients often live with discomfort every day and have difficulty doing daily tasks such as chewing food. Your condition will continue to worsen until treatment is received. The temporomandibular joint is just like any other joint in your body and will continue to wear down over time, similar to the knees and hips.
Follow Through with Treatment
After we meet with you and develop a treatment plan, it is important that you are diligent about following our instructions. Many of our patients experience a complete change in their quality of life after starting treatment. Even if you start feeling relief, it’s important to continue with the plan in place.
We are happy to help patients who suffer from TMJ. Following an examination and review of your medical history, we will devise a treatment plan that will be tailored to your needs. If you are experiencing symptoms related to TMJ, contact our office, which is located in London, Ontario, to schedule an appointment. We can help you get the relief you need. We look forward to hearing from you soon!
