TMJ / TMD
Do you wake up with headaches, sore muscles or teeth, or experience fatigue while chewing? If so, you may suffer from TMD (temporomandibular disorder). Dr. Pollan and Dr. Reimer are trained in diagnosing and treating jaw, muscle, and tooth pain.
Treatment and diagnosis
Our dental exam includes a comprehensive evaluation of the major chewing muscles to identify bruxism, nighttime and/or daytime clenching, or grinding habits. We evaluate wear patterns on the teeth to help create long term treatment plans. Our goal is to diagnose and treat TMD utilizing the most successful nonsurgical treatment options.
How we treat it..
We fabricate three different occlusal guards to treat mild, moderate, and severe clenching and/or grinding. Effectively paired with at-home treatments, we reduce pain and headaches and reduce tooth wear, while improving function and quality of life.
