Do you have headaches? Do you snore? Do you have jaw pain?

Have you heard of TMJ Syndrome?

Many people haven’t heard of this Syndrome, even though it is quite common. Unfortunately most people don't even know they have this condition and cannot understand why they have been living with the pain!

Here are some of the symptoms experienced in sufferers of TMJ Syndrome:

• Headache, jaw, ear, or facial pain
• Being unable to open the mouth comfortably
• Clicking, popping or grating sounds in the jaw joint
• Locking of the jaw when attempting to open the mouth
• A bite that feels uncomfortable or “off”
• Neck, shoulder and back pain
• Swelling on the side of the face
• Ringing in the ears
• Ear pain
• Decreased hearing
• Dizziness and vision problems or other similar problems?

If you answered "YES" to any of these symptoms, you may have TMJ Syndrome. Fortunately for you and other sufferers, after diagnosis at one of our consultations, we can help you get out of pain.

Bear in mind that occasional discomfort in the jaw joint or chewing muscles is common, and is not always a cause for concern. Many people with certain TMJ problems get better without treatment. Often the problem goes away on its own in several weeks to months. However, if the pain is severe and lasts more than a few weeks, we will need to see you for a simple evaluation to effectively help you.

We are here to help you get out of pain and enjoy life again.

If you've not visited us before and feel you may have some or all of the symptoms listed above, we thoroughly recommend you contact us at Active Dental on 02 9891 5353 for a consultation to find out how we can help you choose the right treatment.
