Treatments at the clinic can help those who are suffering from tenderness in the jaw, headaches, earaches, or have difficulty talking or chewing as a result of TMJ inflammation. From recommendations for lifestyle factor changes to surgical options for more extreme cases, Clinica Dental la Campana’s dedicated clinicians can identify affordable, timely solutions to reduce discomfort and pain and help clients enjoy a higher quality of life.

A spokesperson says, “Our main objective is to make our patients smile, providing personalized attention to each of them to offer comprehensive solutions to their dental problems using safe and innovative dental treatments that meet their needs.”

The dental team explains that while some presentations of TMJ pain originate from medical conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis or autoimmune disorders (the TMJ is a common trigger point for fibromyalgia pain), in other cases a misaligned bite, poorly fitted braces, or dentures, missing teeth, or bruxism (teeth grinding) can be to blame.

Clinica Dental la Campana addresses TMJ pain by fitting jaw splints, bite plates or mouth guards, which hold teeth in place, relax the muscles and joints in the jaw, and/or gently shift the teeth to achieve optimal bite formation.

Depending on the individual diagnosis, the team can fit stabilization (unloading) splints which offer complete coverage to prevent any tooth-to-tooth contact and hold the jaw in its correct position. Patients often wear these overnight.

A repositioning splint may be considered for those whose jaw alignment has shifted due to missing teeth, problematic bone development, or injury. These models are designed to be worn at all times apart from during mealtimes and can mitigate pain in the jaw caused by clenching, reduce pressure and stress on jaw muscles, and protect teeth from excessive wear and tear.

New clients can book a consultation for their TMJ issues via the website or by calling +34 951 55 66 44.
