If you're experiencing jaw pain, headaches, or discomfort while chewing, you might be dealing with TMJ, a disorder affecting the temporomandibular joint. In Franklin, TN, Dr. Megan Girmscheid at Dental Haven offers TMJ treatments to alleviate these symptoms. Using a combination of mouth guards and Botox, Dr. Girmscheid provides a comprehensive approach to managing and relieving TMJ-related issues. Mouth guards help by preventing teeth grinding, a common cause of TMJ discomfort, while Botox injections can relax the jaw muscles, reducing tension and pain. This dual approach ensures a tailored treatment plan that targets the root cause of your discomfort, helping you regain comfort and improve your quality of life.

One of the primary benefits of TMJ treatment is the significant reduction in pain. By using mouth guards and Botox, Dr. Girmscheid effectively targets the tension and stress in the jaw muscles, providing immediate and lasting relief from the discomfort associated with TMJ.
TMJ treatment can enhance your jaw's functionality, making it easier to eat, speak, and move your jaw without pain. This improvement not only boosts your daily comfort but also prevents further wear and tear on your jaw and teeth.
By addressing the root causes of TMJ, such as teeth grinding and muscle tension, treatment can prevent future complications. This proactive approach helps maintain the health of your jaw and teeth, reducing the risk of chronic pain and dental issues down the line.
The TMJ treatment process begins with a thorough consultation at Dental Haven. Dr. Girmscheid will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your symptoms, medical history, and jaw function. This initial step is crucial in understanding the severity of your TMJ and determining the most effective treatment plan tailored to your needs.
If a mouth guard is part of your treatment plan, the next step involves a custom fitting. Dr. Girmscheid will take precise measurements of your mouth to create a personalized mouth guard. This device is designed to prevent teeth grinding and reduce stress on your jaw, offering protection and relief from TMJ symptoms.
For patients whose TMJ symptoms are linked to muscle tension, Botox injections may be recommended. This step involves administering Botox into specific jaw muscles to relax them, reducing pain and improving jaw movement. The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and provides relief that can last for several months, enhancing your overall treatment outcome.
