Get The Relief You Need From TMJ With A Custom-Made Nightguard

At Northern Peaks Dental in Sandpoint, we provide temporomandibular (TMJ) treatment to help patients with jaw pain, headaches, and related symptoms get the restful sleep they need.

What does TMJ treatment involve?

Following a thorough assessment that includes asking a series of questions about your symptoms, sleeping patterns, and a visual and x-ray examination of your mouth, our team will create a personalized treatment plan to help alleviate pain, protect your smile, and promote deep and restful sleep.

How can wearing a nightguard help with TMJ?

Not only can a custom-made nightguard help alleviate jaw pain and chronic daytime headaches that can be caused by the condition, by realigning your jaw as you sleep, it can also take the tension off the TMJ joint, reduce pain, and enable you to achieve more restful sleep.

Why is it important to seek out TMJ treatment?

When left untreated, TMJ issues can lead to significant jaw pain, chronic headaches, clicking or popping sounds in the jaw joint, difficulty opening or closing the mouth, and more. By seeking out treatment, you can help alleviate and/or prevent these issues while also protecting teeth from damage that can arise from grinding or clenching.
