Asheville's Choice for TMJ Treatment

If you are constantly bothered by a sore jaw, you may be suffering from TMJ disorder. TMJ symptoms can include a clicking jaw, a popping sound when you chew or speak, and a sore jaw when you first wake. Dr. Michael Mooney in Asheville can help you get started on a short-term and long-term plan to alleviate much of the pain and discomfort you're experiencing.

Symptoms of TMJ can also include sore jaw muscles, sensitive nerves, weak tendons, deteriorating bones and poor dental health. Several factors can lead to TMJ, including speech habits resulting in jaw thrusting, excessive gum chewing, excessive jaw movements related to exercise, nail biting, oversize food and repetitive, unconscious jaw movement. Dr. Michael Mooney in Asheville is eager to talk with you about your symptoms and help develop a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.

Treatment of TMJ symptoms often involves three stages, restoration of tooth surfaces that may be contributing to the problem, short-term pain relief and long-term evaluation of your jaw habits to identifying the underlying causes of your TMJ symptoms. At Michael D Mooney DMD PA we've found that many symptoms can be relieved with a change in eating or stepping habits.

So why are you still suffering from TMJ syndrome? Dr. Mooney can diagnose your issue and get you started immediately on the proper plan. Call our Asheville office at Michael D Mooney DMD PA to schedule an appointment today. Or use our convenience online form and we'll contact you shortly.

No one should have to suffer from untreated TMJ symptoms. Dr. Mooney is highly-trained and experienced in the diagnosis and treatment of this condition and can help get you back to smiling again.
