Does TMJ disorder treatment hurt?
Most treatments for TMJ do not hurt. For example, a TENS Unit may be used to send low impulse electricity to the jaw muscles. This is a pleasant and relaxing experience. While there may be some discomfort in certain treatments, you should never experience pain caused by the treatment, and should let Dr. Sarris know immediately if you do. We also offer sedation dentistry to help you feel calm about any procedure. Who is qualified to treat TMJ disorder? Only trained and accredited neuromuscular dentists are qualified to treat TMJ disorder. Many dentists may claim they can cure TMJ disorder, and may offer temporary relief, but realigning the jaw joint is a highly specialized task which requires hands-on training, such as is offered at the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies (LVI). If you are in the Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, and Boynton Beach areas of Florida, please contact Neuromuscular Dentist, Dr. John Sarris today for your complimentary neuromuscular dentistry consultat
