TMD pain can either stem from the joint itself or from the muscles surrounding the joint. Our dentists can help you locate the source of the pain and direct treatments to that area. If most of your pain is muscular, then muscle relaxants or Botox injections can be used to reduce muscle tension and relieve pain. If your pain is stemming from the joint itself, then inject-able anesthetics or steroids may be used.
If you are experiencing TMD symptoms, schedule a consultation with Dr. Sammons and Dr. Laurent of Dental Artistry today and we can help you address the cause of your pain.
