TMD(TMJ) Treatment at Palencia Dental
TMD, or temporomandibular joint disorder, can be caused by various factors including jaw misalignment, stress, teeth grinding (bruxism), or injury to the jaw area. If left untreated, TMD can lead to chronic pain and discomfort, affecting daily activities and overall quality of life. Symptoms can worsen over time, especially with habits like teeth clenching or grinding, poor posture, or excessive gum chewing. Effective management and treatment are crucial to prevent long-term complications such as severe pain, joint damage, and difficulty in eating or speaking.
