Are you experiencing jaw discomfort, tension headaches, or clicking sounds when you chew or speak? These could be signs of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD).

Understanding TMJ Disorder

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your lower jaw to your skull and allows essential movements like chewing, speaking, and yawning. When this joint is overworked, inflamed, or misaligned, it can result in a range of painful symptoms commonly referred to as TMJ disorder or TMD.
At Vacaville Dental Group, our TMJ Disorder Evaluation in Vacaville is a thorough, patient-centered approach that goes beyond surface-level symptoms. We focus on understanding the mechanics of your jaw, your bite alignment, and any lifestyle factors—such as stress or grinding—that may be contributing to your condition.

Common Signs You May Need a TMJ Disorder Evaluation

If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, a professional evaluation is recommended:
  • Clicking, popping, or locking jaw
  • Frequent headaches or tension in the temples
  • Jaw stiffness or tenderness
  • Pain while chewing, yawning, or speaking
  • Earaches or unexplained ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
These signs often indicate an underlying issue with the TMJ that may worsen without timely intervention.

Our TMJ Evaluation Process

At Vacaville Dental Group, we believe that accurate diagnosis leads to more effective treatment. That's why our TMJ Disorder Evaluation in Vacaville includes:
  • A complete review of your medical and dental history
  • Physical examination of jaw motion, muscle tenderness, and bite function
  • Digital imaging or X-rays to assess joint structure and alignment
  • Customized insights and treatment recommendations tailored to your condition
We take a holistic view of your oral health, looking for contributing factors like bruxism (teeth grinding), stress-induced clenching, or bite irregularities that could be worsening your symptoms.

Don’t Let Your Dental Benefits Go to Waste: Use Them Before Year-End

If you have dental insurance, chances are you're paying for benefits that are designed to help keep your smile healthy. Unfortunately, many patients don't realize that these benefits often reset at the end of the plan year — meaning any unused coverage is lost. At Vacaville Dental Group, we want to make sure you get the most out of the plan you're already paying for by scheduling your preventive care and necessary treatments before your benefits expire.
