TMJ Disorders

TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders can occur when the joint responsible for opening and closing the mouth and facilitating jaw movement becomes inflamed or experiences dysfunction. This condition can lead to symptoms such as jaw pain, difficulty chewing, clicking or popping sounds in the jaw, and limited movement of the jaw. At Foster City Oral Surgery Specialists, we specialize in diagnosing and treating TMJ disorders to alleviate discomfort and restore normal jaw function. Our team utilizes a comprehensive approach that may include conservative treatments like lifestyle modifications, physical therapy, or custom oral appliances, as well as surgical interventions when necessary to address severe or persistent TMJ issues. If you are experiencing symptoms of TMJ disorder, we encourage you to schedule a consultation to explore effective treatment options and regain comfort and function in your jaw.
