Temporomandibular Disorders (TMDs) encompass a range of conditions affecting the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, often causing symptoms like jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds, and difficulty chewing or opening the mouth. At Rathke Family Dentistry, we specialize in diagnosing and treating TMDs using a variety of approaches, including occlusal splints, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications, to alleviate pain and restore jaw function.
Are you a candidate for TMD Treatment?
Candidates for Temporomandibular Disorders (TMDs) are individuals experiencing symptoms such as jaw pain, stiffness, clicking or popping sounds, headaches, or difficulty chewing or opening the mouth. These symptoms may be caused by various factors, including jaw misalignment, teeth grinding (bruxism), stress, or arthritis. Dr. Bryan Rathke and our experienced dental team at Rathke Family Dentistry provide personalized evaluations to determine the underlying causes of TMD symptoms and recommend appropriate treatment options to alleviate discomfort and restore oral function.
