TMJ Dentist LA - TMJ Headache

Temporomandibular joint disorder, or TMJ, is a chronic inflammation of the joint that holds your lower jaw (mandible) to your skull (temporal bone). The muscles and tendons that control the jaw can be the source of head and neck pain resulting from a poorly aligned bite.

Doctors' offices are filled with patients complaining about headaches. However, most patients don't often think to mention headaches to their dentist. Dr. Sid Solomon (of Center for Cosmetic, Implant & Neuromuscular Dentistry) has the equipment and expertise to diagnose, determine the source of, and treat TMJ headaches.

TMJ can be caused by anything that causes misalignment of the bite, including jaw trauma, bruxism (teeth grinding or jaw clenching), excessive gum chewing or nail biting, overbite problems, uneven tooth surfaces, and even from wearing braces. A painful TMJ headache is often the end result.

Dr. Solomon completed specialized post-graduate training that included studying TMJ and headache diagnosis. His office has specialized computer-based instrumentation that permits him to do precision studies of jaw function and related muscles. The tests to determine the source of TMJ headache are non-invasive and painless. Once he determines that TMJ is the cause, the patient wears a temporary to reposition the jaw and prove the efficacy of the new position. If the patient does not respond to the device, other dental procedures may provide relief.

Not all headaches originate from dental issues. If he can't find the source, Dr. Solomon works with his patient's physician to make sure that a serious medical condition is not to blame. Patients who are suffering from headaches with no apparent cause should talk to their dentist about TMJ headache diagnosis and possible treatment.
