TMJD Related Pain

TMJ Facial Pain

According to National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research the prevalence of temporomandibular joint and muscle disorder (TMJD) is estimated to be between 5% and 12%. TMJD appears more frequently in younger individuals and is twice as common in women compared to men.

TMJ disorders encompass a range of conditions affecting the temporomandibular joint, leading to symptoms like jaw pain, difficulty chewing, and headaches. We offer specialized TMJ Facial Pain services, focusing on conservative treatments like Botox injections and custom appliance therapy. 

These methods are designed to alleviate discomfort and improve jaw function with a less invasive approach, reflecting Dr. Calat’s dedication to providing effective, patient-focused care for those experiencing TMJ-related issues.

Botox

Botox treatment involves targeted injections to relax the muscles around the jaw which can significantly reduce TMJ-related pain and discomfort. This technique is helpful for patients seeking non-surgical relief from jaw tension and headaches. Dr. Calat’s approach to Botox therapy includes personalized assessments and customized treatment plans. His goal is achieving optimal outcomes while making sure that patients are comfortable and safe.
