Night Guards and TMJ Appliances to relieve your Discomfort
Are you experiencing jaw pain, popping sounds, facial numbness, or other dental discomfort?
You may be dealing with a misalignment of your jaw and temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which can lead to significant pain and discomfort.
Personalized TMJ Treatment
TMJ treatment varies for each individual and often requires a combination of approaches. These may include night guards, medication, dietary changes, and in some cases, TMJ surgery.
At Lakeshore Dental Implant & Aesthetic Dentistry, we offer advanced TMJ services to help you regain full use of your jaw and find relief from your pain.
Do I Need a TMJ Appliance?
If you experience any of the following symptoms, a TMJ appliance may benefit you:
- Misalignment of the teeth or jaw
- Jaw pain or tenderness
- Teeth grinding (bruxism)
- Sensitivity in the teeth
- Difficulty chewing
- Jaw muscle clenching
These symptoms may indicate temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD). It’s important to address these signs early, as untreated TMD can lead to worsening conditions, prolonged pain, and damage to the teeth. Schedule an appointment with our TMD specialist today.
Night Guard: Protect Your Teeth While You Sleep
Do you grind or clench your teeth while sleeping? This condition, known as bruxism, can cause a variety of dental issues such as enamel loss, increased tooth sensitivity, and the flattening or chipping of teeth.
Many people are unaware they suffer from bruxism until alerted by a partner or identified during a dental exam.
At Lakeshore Dental Implant & Aesthetic Dentistry, in Etobicoke, Dr. Izabela Olczyk can design a custom night guard to protect your teeth while you sleep. Night guards help prevent teeth grinding, but it’s also important to manage daytime clenching habits for optimal results.
Sports guard: Protect Your smile while playing sports
Sports and athletic activities are among the top causes of dental injuries. Without a mouthguard, athletes face a significantly higher risk of severe dental trauma and other serious injuries. A properly fitted mouthguard not only shields your teeth from damage but also helps reduce the likelihood of head and jaw injuries.
Dental trauma can result in tooth loss, nerve damage, or even more severe complications. A strong impact to the base of the skull, for instance, can lead to a concussion. Custom-made sports mouthguards are specifically designed to provide optimal protection, minimizing these risks and allowing you to focus on the game without worry.
Invest in a custom sports mouthguard today and safeguard your teeth and overall health during every match or practice.
