TMJ Therapy
Why TMJ Therapy?
If you are experiencing pain or discomfort in your jaw, you may have TMD or temporal mandibular disorder – or temporomandibular joint disorder. This painful condition causes patients to not only suffer throughout the course of the day; they also often have difficulty sleeping. At Mosaic Dentistry, we know how TMD can negatively affect people, which is why we are pleased to offer a variety of TMD treatment options to our patients throughout the Cedar Park, TX, area.

- Soreness in front of either ear
- Popping or clicking in jaw

More Information About TMD/TMJ Treatment
Left untreated, the discomfort caused by TMD will only get worse. Along with pain, TMD makes it hard to chew food or get a good night’s sleep. At some point, TMD may cause severe tooth and jaw issues that may require surgery. Fortunately, there are several non-surgical TMD treatment options that can address the condition if it’s caught early on. Talk to your dentist today for more information.
