The Most Effective TMJ Treatment

Temporomandibular joint syndrome or TMJ/TMD is a complex disorder that is often misdiagnosed and ineffectually treated. This is not a singular condition, but a variety of symptoms and dysfunctions that stem from the temporomandibular joint and surrounding muscles and nerves. There is not one cause of TMJ, but a variety of possible factors. TMJ treatment must begin with finding the underlying cause to get effective results for alleviating symptoms. To relieve symptoms effectively requires a TMJ specialist like Bob Perkins, DDS.

TMJ syndrome can result in many painful and functional issues for those with this disorder. The cause is usually stress or pressure in the jaw, but the symptoms may be felt throughout the head, neck and shoulder region. Treatment to relieve TMJ pain and discomfort starts with diagnosing the cause and working on relieving the stress to the jaw area. At Bob Perkins, DDS, our team headed by our TMJ specialist, Dr. Perkins, can offer quick, effective treatment for our patients from Los Angeles and Burbank.
