We Have Your Jaw Pain Solution

Treating TMJ in Pasadena at Walnut Hill Dental Group is easy, and we have a solution for you.

Our team at Walnut Hill Dental Group will do whatever it takes to get you out of jaw pain as quickly as possible. Sometimes treating TMJ in Pasadena requires several different approaches at a time in order to find the best solution to all of your symptoms. Also, our dentist will suggest several options to use in combination with each other in order to avoid surgery on your jaw at all costs. When searching for remedies to your jaw pain, there are several things you can do on your own as well that may help. You should avoid putting stress on the joint by not chewing gum, yawning widely or yelling. All of these actions can put stress on the joint, as well as eating foods that are difficult to chew, such as caramel. Along with these suggestions, you can use massage techniques to help relax the muscles surrounding the Temporomandibular joint. If these treatments aren’t helping relieve you of your jaw pain in Pasadena, we will then suggest other dental treatments to help. We can offer you mouth guards to wear, which will help with the amount of grinding, and pressure you put on your teeth that contributes to your pain. Also, we will look into problems with the alignment of your teeth that can be contributing to how much stress you are putting on the joint, and suggest clear braces, crowns or other dental procedures as a solution. Surgery is used as a last option when treating TMJ in Pasadena as it is irreversible. However, it can be very successful as well.

Smiles That Inspire

My grandfather went for teeth implants and had an amazing experience. The doctor was so kind and patient, the office was clean, and he had no pain whatsoever. The teeth implants looked so natural that I didn’t even recognize it wasn’t his teeth. The color, shape and size was so realistic. We came all the way from Westwood and definitely would recommend this doctor.

Staff is always efficient, but most of all they are kind. Everyone cares about the patient and are continually checking to make sure you are getting okay. Given that going to the dentist is not a fun thing to do, the staff does everything they can to make the experience positive.

I have only been with Walnut Hill Dental for 2 months, but so far am very happy with the quality of care. It was recommended that I have 6 fillings, a root canal with a crown, and a deep cleaning. It’s a lot, but I recently left my other dentists because I felt like they were not very proactive in my dental care. I had gone to another dentists a few months prior to Walnut Hill Dental, and they pretty much gave me the same assessment.
