Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain is a common problem that can cause pain in the jaw, face, and head. Dentists are often the first healthcare providers to see patients with TMJ pain, and they can provide a variety of treatments to help relieve the pain and improve function.
The most common treatment for TMJ pain is a bite guard or splint. This is a device that fits over the teeth and helps to reposition the jaw in a more comfortable position. Bite guards can be worn during the day or at night, and they can help to reduce pain and improve function.
