TMJ & TMD Treatment Near You

Eating, speaking, and virtually everything else you do with your mouth relies on the temporomandibular joint, or TMJ. This joint acts as a hinge, allowing your jaw to move up and down. The TMJ is also particularly sensitive. If it is injured, poorly developed, or traumatized, the TMJ can lead to a painful and frustrating condition called temporomandibular disorder, or TMD.

Artis Dental Centre in New Westminster, BC, V3L 3B9 provides customized therapeutic treatments for patients struggling with TMD.

What Is TMD?

The name TMD is an umbrella term used to refer to any sort of pain or movement issues in and around the jaw joint. TMD typically develops due to an injury, a joint disease like arthritis, or some sort of trauma. However, it can also develop as a result of poorly formed bone, tissue, or muscle in the area.

The TMJ is considered one of the most complex joints in the body, and when it doesn’t function properly, it can lead to very disruptive symptoms.
