TMJ Questions
How does TMD cause tooth loss?
A bad bite can affect your whole mouth – if your teeth are not meeting together correctly, the upper teeth may be putting pressure on the lower teeth, and vice versa. This pressure can loosen teeth, wear down natural enamel, and cause dental work to wear down and need replacement. If you are experiencing multiple tooth loss, it may be due to TMJ. Contact neuromuscular dentist Dr. Douglas for a complimentary neuromuscular evaluation.
Can a bad bite be corrected without surgery?
There are many treatments for TMJ that are non-surgical. Depending on the condition of your bite and the repositioning needed, there is a good chance you will not need surgery. Many of Dr. Douglas’s neuromuscular patients have success with oral appliances. Dentist, Dr. Douglas definitely favors use of the noninvasive treatments and will recommend conservative treatments before surgery.
How do I know if I have TMJ?
The only way to find out if you are suffering from TMJ is to visit a skilled neuromuscular specialist. Dr. Douglas will perform a battery of tests and use state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to determine if you have TMJ and are in need of neuromuscular treatment. You may want to seek out a comprehensive evaluation if you are experiencing common symptoms of TMJ like grinding, tooth loss, jaw soreness, headaches, migraines, or neck and shoulder pain.

What can I do to stop grinding my teeth at night?
Grinding is not only rough on your bite, it can wear down tooth surfaces and leave them less functional and prone to decay. Neuromuscular dentist Dr. Douglas can recommend a mouthpiece that will give you relief from grinding and protect your enamel.
