Find Relief in Colonial Heights, VA from Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ, TMD)

Have you ever yawned or taken a bite of food, but cringed in pain? If you have, you are not alone. People with a poorly aligned bite or missing teeth can experience more pronounced health-related problems, such as jaw pain. This often occurs because the jaw muscles are working harder to bring teeth together. In turn, this strains the surrounding muscles. When this occurs, you may be suffering from a temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) in Colonial Heights, VA. 

What is TMD?

TMD is a painful condition often mistaken for recurring headaches and jaw pain you might be experiencing. The temporomandibular joints (TMJ) are the points at which the lower jaw attaches to the skull, and are among the most complex joints in the human body. One of the most recognized signs of TMJ disorders is joint sound. That means if your jaw clicks or pops it is important to seek treatment for TMD from our Colonial Heights, VA team at United Smiles.

If your jaw hurts or your head is still pounding, contact our team in Colonial Heights, VA about TMD. If your pain continues for several days, schedule an appointment with us at United Smiles to discuss treatment in Colonial Heights, VA for TMD.

I love going to the dentist! You don’t hear that often from anyone, but I really do. The staff and Dr Nico are excellent at what they do. They take the time to explain what is going on and answer any questions. You barely know that they are preforming a procedure, except from the noise of the machine. I can honestly say I look forward to going to my dentist, I feel very comfortable with the wonderful team!!

I am very pleased with United Smiles. The environment is pleasing and appointment times are always convenient. I don’t have to wait when I get there. Dr. Richardson is the only dentist that I know. I have never had a reason to look for another one. I am still wearing the same bridge that he put in place many years ago. Great dentist and great work.

This office is the best! They are clean, gentle and very caring. I have anxiety really bad which required sedation dentistry in the past. But here I feel really comfortable with regular dental procedures. Dr P and his team are amazing. I highly recommend United Smiles.
