Get Relief with Expert TMJ Treatment
Do you struggle with jaw pain, tension headaches, or clicking when you chew or yawn? These may be signs of a temporomandibular disorder (TMD). At Bradenton Family and Implant Dentistry, we specialize in diagnosing and treating TMJ and TMD issues - helping you reclaim comfort, improve function, and prevent long-term damage.
What Is TMJ and What Is TMD?
TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint - the complex hinge that connects your jaw to your skull. When this joint doesn’t function properly, it leads to a temporomandibular disorder (TMD), which can cause chronic pain and stiffness in the jaw, face, and neck.
TMDs are often linked to:
- Misalignment of the jaw
- Excessive teeth grinding or clenching (especially at night)
- Arthritis or joint damage
- Stress-related muscle tension
Without treatment, TMJ issues can worsen over time - affecting your sleep, ability to eat comfortably, and overall quality of life.

Common signs include clicking or popping when you open your mouth, jaw locking, headaches, facial pain, or difficulty chewing.
Mild TMJ pain may resolve with rest or anti-inflammatory medication, but persistent or worsening symptoms should be evaluated.
A custom night guard relieves pressure on the TMJ by preventing teeth clenching or grinding during sleep.
