TMJ Disorder Impacts Millions

If you experience regular headaches, uneven tooth wear, or popping and clicking of your jaw, you may suffer from TMJ disorder. Also called TMD, TMJ dysfunction involves misalignment of the temporomandibular, or jaw, joints. The TMJ joints control the opening and closing of your jaw. Improper joint alignment can irritate nerves and cause muscles to spasm, resulting in a host of unpleasant symptoms such as migraines, neck pain, and ringing in the ears.

We want to relieve your discomfort and create a comfortable smile. Dr. Hackbarth will evaluate your whole mouth and determine the cause of the TMJ disorder. He will then suggest appropriate therapy, which may include restorations to build up your bite, an oral appliance to prevent nighttime teeth grinding, and/or exercises to strengthen your jaw muscles.

Let Dr. Hackbarth alleviate your pain and restore your smile. Call today to schedule appointments for you and your family members. Located in Texas City, we serve patients from Santa Fe, La Marque, and the surrounding areas with comprehensive general dentistry, including TMJ therapy. Learn more about TMJ when you visit our patient library.
