This joint is responsible for the movement of your jaw, allowing you to talk, chew, and yawn.\n\u00a0\n<p>When the TMJ is damaged or not functioning properly, it can cause a variety of symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>\u200bThe most common symptoms of TMJ disorder include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p>Pain or tenderness in the jaw joint or muscles around the jaw<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Difficulty opening or closing the mouth<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Clicking, popping, or grating sounds when opening or closing the mouth<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Locking of the jaw joint, making it difficult to open or close the mouth<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Aching pain in and around the ear<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Headaches or neck pain<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Changes in the way the upper and lower teeth fit together<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to call our office for proper diagnosis and treatment. We will perform a thorough exam of your jaw, teeth, and muscles, and may take <a href=\"https:\/\/mckellpackerdental.com\/es\/dental-services\/digital-x-rays\/\">x-rays<\/a> or other imaging tests to determine the cause of your symptoms.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<h3>David&#8217;s Experience<\/h3>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;My wife kicked me out of the bedroom. She just couldn&#8217;t sleep with my snoring any longer. I had consigned myself to a mattress on the living room floor. As luck would have it, I happened to drive by Dr. Bennett&#8217;s office one day. I looked them up and got excited about their laser treatment. Now, after a few treatments, I am happy to report I am well on my way to recovery. My snoring is almost completely gone! Dr. Bennett has shown me the way to a happier and healthier life!&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t<h2>Treatment for TMJ Disorder<\/h2>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<p>Treatment for TMJ disorder depends on the severity of your symptoms and the underlying cause of the problem. In mild cases, self-care measures such as eating soft foods, applying heat or ice to the affected area, and avoiding excessive jaw movement may be recommended. Physical therapy or exercises to strengthen the jaw muscles may also be helpful.<\/p>\n<p>\u200bIn more severe cases, our dentist may recommend a custom-fitted oral appliance to help relieve pressure on the jaw joint and improve jaw alignment. Medications such as muscle relaxants or pain relievers may also be prescribed. In rare cases, surgery may be necessary to repair or replace the joint.<\/p>\n<p>\u200bOverall, if you are experiencing symptoms of TMJ disorder, it is important to seek <a href=\"https:\/\/mckellpackerdental.com\/es\/contact-us\/\">professional<\/a> dental care to properly diagnose and treat the condition. With proper care, most cases of TMJ disorder can be successfully managed and symptoms can be reduced or eliminated.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<h3>Kelly&#8217;s Experience<\/h3>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I have been married to my husband Brandon for 18 years and I endured his &#8216;grizzly bear&#8217; snoring for 17 of those years. Some nights it got so bad I would get up and leave the room to sleep on the couch just to get some sleep. After the first treatment with Dr. Bennett, I could tell a difference and by the end of the treatment his snoring was decreased by 80-90 %. The sound went from grizzly bear status to a kitten purring when he does snore. I no longer felt like I was going to smother him with a pillow in the middle of the night. <\/p>\n<p>Dr. Bennett also helped us to see that Brandon had sleep apnea which was contributing to the problem and that his nasal breathing was almost non-existent. He helped us get an oral device that would help him not suffocate at night while sleeping.<\/p>\n<p>It has been about 18 months since we completed treatment and Brandon sleeps so much better, quieter, and he feels 100% better. I also feel 100% better since I now get uninterrupted sleep. I would recommend treatment to any couple that is struggling with a spouse that snores. Dr. Bennett can keep you from needing bail money or a divorce attorney.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>\n\t\tDental Services\n\t<\/h3>\n\t<a href=\"tel:(801) 396-8461\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"Go to tel:(801) 396-8461\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>\n\t\t<h3> Emergency Cases<\/h3>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<p>Please feel welcome to contact our friendly reception staff with any general or medical enquiry call us.<\/p>\n\t<a href=\"tel:(801) 396-8461\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"Go to tel:(801) 396-8461\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a>\n\t\t<h3>(801) 396-8461<\/h3>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<h1>\u00bfTiene alguna necesidad dental?<\/h1>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<p>Ll\u00e1manos al <a href=\"tel:(801) 374-2182\">(801) 374-2182<\/a>\u00a0o solicitar una cita <a href=\"\/es\/request-appointment\/\">aqu\u00ed<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\" target=\"_self\" role=\"button\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tAGENDAR UNA CITA\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dental bonding is a cosmetic dentistry procedure that we offer at our&#8230;<\/p>","protected":false},"author":47,"featured_media":3037,"parent":146,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"no-sidebar","site-content-layout":"page-builder","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"disabled","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"disabled","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"default","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.13 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Sleep Apnea &amp; TMJ Disorder | Provo<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Provo dentist offering effective TMJ and sleep apnea treatments.
