John-Mark takes some time to sit down and talk with his brother, Dr. Nathan Chesney, D.D.S., from Chesney Family Dentistry. Among the topics covered, they discuss common causes, symptoms, and the best treatments for TMJ disorder.
If you’ve been experiencing pain in your jaw, pressure or tension around your ear, or facial pain, this episode covers:
- How TMJ dysfunction is diagnosed
- Determining the best treatment approach for your TMJ pain
- When to see a dentist, an ENT, or a physical therapist for TMJ pain
- The benefits of a night guard, and what kind to avoid
- Why treating the jaw directly is often the wrong place to start
- Exercises and self-treatments you can begin for relief right away
Thanks for listening, and stay healthy, Knoxville.
