TMJ Treatment in Dianella
Did you know dentists can help treat TMJ? This common condition isn’t just painful; it can also cause extensive damage to your teeth.
If you’ve been diagnosed with temporomandibular disorder, or TMD, the first step is to discern what’s causing pain. Some patients have a problem with the actual jaw joint or the disc within the joint. Others may have arthritis or degeneration, or pain could result from chronic tension or overuse of the jaw muscles.

Our Comprehensive Approach
At Grand Promenade Dental Centre, we provide a range of options to help you get out of pain and keep your teeth in great condition. Our dentists may start by recommending a custom nightguard as a non-invasive way to minimise clenching and grinding at night and preserve your teeth.
Other patients opt for injectables to relax your jaw muscles. This is a recurring treatment we may provide every three months initially, until you’ve established a good baseline. After that, you’ll likely be able to go six months or longer between treatments.
