Wilmington's Choice for TMJ Treatment

Do you find that you're unable to open your mouth without painful clicking and popping sounds? If so, you may be affected by temporomandibular joint disease or TMJ. Dr. Kuzma in Wilmington has years of experience in diagnosing and treating TMJ and would love to talk with you about your symptoms. If you're experiencing constant headaches, swelling of the face near the jaw joint or feel that your jaw is locking up, please contact Comprehensive Dentistry today to get back on the road to recovery.

Symptoms of TMJ can also include sore jaw muscles, sensitive nerves, weak tendons, deteriorating bones and poor dental health. Several factors can lead to TMJ, including speech habits resulting in jaw thrusting, excessive gum chewing, excessive jaw movements related to exercise, nail biting, oversize food and repetitive, unconscious jaw movement. Dr. Michael Kuzma in Wilmington is eager to talk with you about your symptoms and help develop a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.

Treatment of TMJ symptoms often involves three stages, restoration of tooth surfaces that may be contributing to the problem, short-term pain relief and long-term evaluation of your jaw habits to identifying the underlying causes of your TMJ symptoms. At Comprehensive Dentistry we've found that many symptoms can be relieved with a change in eating or stepping habits.

So why are you still suffering from TMJ syndrome? Dr. Kuzma can diagnose your issue and get you started immediately on the proper plan. Call our Wilmington office at Comprehensive Dentistry to schedule an appointment today. Or use our convenience online form and we'll contact you shortly.

Don't suffer another day from debilitating TMJ symptoms. At Comprehensive Dentistry we have the training and experience to diagnose and treat your condition and get you back on the road to good health.
