TMJ Facial Pain Treatment in Brooklyn, NY
WHAT IS TMD?
TMD stands for temporomandibular dysfunction and encompasses a range of facial pain conditions that include joint and muscular problems. One of the major problems with TMD is that there is still no consensus on the cause, how to prevent, or how to treat these disorders. Fortunately, if we pay heed to the quality scientific evidence available to us, we can treat these problems successfully. For patients with acute injuries, resting the joint and performing simple treatments will resolve the situation in a short time. For others, the problem is chronic and requires more advanced treatment modalities.
HOW ARE TMDs TREATED?
Treatment varies for each patient. Your treatment plan and care will be customized and tailored to your specific needs and diagnosis. Part of your initial appointment will involve our oral surgeon formulating a specialized, individualized treatment plan tailored to you. The doctor will offer you treatment options based on their knowledge.
