If you have chronic headaches or pains in other areas or your face, neck, or even shoulders, these may be caused by a disorder in the joint of your jaw— known as your temporomandibular joint or TMJ. The pain of TMJ disorder, or TMD, can be terrible.

TMJ Pain Relief

Are you looking for headache relief? Then you may need TMJ treatment. At Shumway Dental Care, we want to relieve you of the pain and frustration that this problem causes. You may be surprised to find out that the solution may be much simpler than you expected.

Symptoms of TMJ Disorder

TMD can cause migraines, ringing in the ears, sore jaws, extra tooth wear, a locked or clicking jaw, and other pains and inconveniences.

For headache relief and treatment for other TMJ pains, our top TMJ recommendation is:

Night Guards: We can create a customized mouth guard that prevents your teeth from grinding together while you sleep. This relieves the jaw joints of unnecessary strain and gives them time to heal.

Radio wave therapies and surgery are also available. The most important thing for now is to take the next step. Call us to start on the road to having your pain managed.
