Tulsa TMJ and headache treatment

Recognizing TMJ as early as possible increases the probability that you will have young teeth even as you age. Much of the bridgework, crowns and repairs that adults experience might be avoided if the signs of TMJ were recognized and addressed in the early stages.

Do you suffer from frequent headaches? Neck and back pain? Even tingling in your fingers? You may be surprised to learn that the pain is caused by your teeth and jaw.

As you chew, your upper and lower teeth come together, pushing against your skull. If you have an uneven bite, missing teeth, or improperly aligned teeth, your muscles work harder to bring the teeth together. If you clench or grind your teeth, the strain only increases.

Occlusal disease, also known as TMJ disorder, does not always present itself as obviously as periodontal disease or tooth decay.

TMJ Symptoms include:

  • Worn teeth
  • Sensitive teeth
  • Cracked or broken teeth
  • Loose teeth
  • Sore muscles
  • Painful jaw joints
  • Headaches and migraines

… And More

Trained at the prestigious Pankey Institute in Key Biscayne, Florida, Tulsa dentist Dr. Canady has developed the skills to recognize the signs of TMJ and provide the appropriate treatment to halt and often reverse its effects.
