TMJ Therapy at our Nashua, New Hampshire, Office

Thousands of Americans suffer from pain associated with temporomandibular joint dysfunctions, commonly known as TMJ disorder. Our Nashua dentists can diagnose TMJ and administer TMJ therapy, as well as treat TMJ’s side effects. Often caused by chronic (and in many cases unconscious) teeth grinding, TMJ disorder can result in constant pain affecting the ear, jaw, head, cheeks and neck. For some patients, a change in diet or lifestyle may be sufficient to reduce the effects of TMJ disorder; however, for others, more intensive TMJ therapy at our New Hampshire practice may be necessary.

For those patients who suffer from a TMJ disorder, Nashua Cosmetic and Restorative Dentistry offers the option of TMJ splint therapy. A splint is a customized bite appliance that is worn to prevent your teeth from clenching. TMJ splint therapy can help our Nashua patients achieve a more stable, comfortable jaw position. With TMJ therapy, patients experience both relief from pain and increased comfort while chewing, speaking and yawning. If you seek therapy for the effects of TMJ, contact our New Hampshire practice to find out if you are a suitable candidate for splint therapy.
