Jaw pain, tension, and fatigue aren’t “just stress”Recognize the signs of TMJ

Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) affects the joint that connects your jaw to your skull. It often goes undiagnosed, especially because the symptoms mimic stress, sinus pressure, or even migraines. You may be dealing with TMJ if you’ve experienced:

Recurrent headaches or facial pain
Popping, clicking, or grinding in your jaw
Pain while chewing or yawning
Difficulty opening your mouth wide
Tension in your neck, shoulders, or ears

Chronic jaw pain can take a real toll, not just physically, but emotionally too. We’re here to help you get answers and build a plan for healing.

Start with conservative, custom careTMJ treatment options at Costa + Williams

No two TMJ cases are alike. That’s why we start with a detailed evaluation to understand how your bite, joints, muscles, and lifestyle factors may be contributing to the problem. Depending on your symptoms and goals, we may recommend:

Night guards or splints: Custom-made devices that align your bite and protect your teeth during sleep
Anti-inflammatory medication: For short-term relief from pain and swelling
Massage or physical therapy: Gentle techniques to release muscle tension in the jaw and surrounding areas
Lifestyle support: Help identifying stress, posture, sleep, or dietary habits that may be contributing to jaw strain

The goal isn’t just short-term relief, it’s long-term improvement.
