TMJ, Bruxism, & Nightguards Treatment in Carlsbad, CA
What are TMJ Disorders and Bruxism?
TMJ disorders affect the temporomandibular joint that connects your jawbone to your skull, causing pain, difficulty chewing, and restricted jaw movement. These disorders can result from injury, arthritis, teeth grinding, or stress.
Bruxism, or teeth grinding, often occurs during sleep and can severely damage your teeth over time. At our Carlsbad dental office, we provide comprehensive evaluation and treatment for both conditions, helping you find relief from pain and protect your teeth from further wear.
